Jordan: As October begins, will the hot air masses move away from the Kingdom, or are there signs of a temperature rise again?

Arab Weather - Today, Wednesday, October begins. It is the second month of autumn, meteorologically speaking, and is characterized by frequent weather fluctuations, especially in terms of temperature.

As October begins, will the hot air masses move away from the Kingdom, or are there signs of temperatures rising again?

Weather forecast for the coming days

Arab Weather experts say that the Kingdom will remain under the influence of an autumnal air mass through the beginning of October. Weather is expected to remain moderate across most regions during the day and relatively cold at night on Wednesday and Thursday.

However, starting next Friday, the influence of the autumn air mass will gradually decline, and a hotter air mass will begin to influence the Kingdom, causing a slight rise in temperature during the day. Meanwhile, the Kingdom will be increasingly affected by warm air currents on Saturday, and temperatures will rise further, making the weather on Saturday relatively hot across all regions of the Kingdom.

Temperature fluctuations expected in the first week of October

October is characterized by frequent weather fluctuations, due to the continued influence of warm air masses coming from the Arabian Peninsula and the deserts of North Africa on the region. This sometimes coincides with the advance of a cooler air mass from northern and central Europe.

This conflict between cold air masses from the north and warm air masses from the south is leading to continued temperature fluctuations in October. This is expected to continue next week, with temperatures expected to drop again mid-next week due to forecasts of an autumnal air mass approaching the region.

Is it normal for the temperature to rise in October?

Arab Weather forecasters said the Kingdom is accustomed to high temperatures in October. According to climate records, the Kingdom has experienced relatively hot to extremely hot weather in some years during October.
