Urgent: Parts of the capital, Amman, now score 40 percent, which is higher than Aqaba's current score (37 percent)

Arab Weather - The temperature is recorded according to the latest official report issued by the Amman Civil Airport station in the Marka area in the east of the capital Amman at 40 degrees Celsius at 1 pm on Sunday 8-30-2020, in light of the increasing impact of parts of the Kingdom today by air mass Very hot and dashing from the desert of the Arabian Peninsula towards the Levant. It is expected that temperatures will continue to rise in the capital and the rest of the Kingdom during the next few hours.

The difference is that the meteorological stations in the city of Aqaba record 37 degrees Celsius at the same time that the capital, Amman, is 40 degrees, which makes the capital, Amman, temperatures now higher than in Aqaba.

The scientific reason behind this is that mountain heights are more affected by hot air masses than is the case in valleys and low-lying regions, because hot air has a lower density than it works to rise to the top and the air has relatively cooler temperatures (i.e. the least heat ) With more density, it descends down into valleys. However, other local factors interfere in this equation, for example in the Jordan Valley, the effect of this phenomenon on it is not significant, and on the contrary, temperatures rise to record levels during heat waves sometimes, especially those associated with the eastern winds, because of their occurrence to the west of a series of heights. Mountainous, which makes the air descending from the western mountains towards a very hot direction during the blowing of the eastern winds, which raises the temperatures to high levels.

God knows
