A low pressure system in the western Mediterranean will push a relatively hot air mass towards Jordan starting Thursday (details)

Arab Weather - The countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin, specifically the Levant, will be affected by a relatively hot air mass starting Thursday and continuing for several days. This air mass is the result of a strong high pressure expanding in the upper layers of the atmosphere, coinciding with the flow of air currents with warmer-than-usual temperatures in the layers of the atmosphere close to the surface. The weather will be closer to summer than to spring across the region.

A relatively hot air mass is affecting Jordan, raising temperatures to near-summer levels.

Weather maps specializing in the distribution of weather systems at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Kingdom will be affected - God willing - starting Thursday, with the effect increasing at the end of the week, by a relatively hot and semi-dry air mass, accompanied by a high pressure system in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which will lead to a noticeable rise in temperatures. A summary of the weather conditions during the remainder of the current week can be stated as follows:

Thursday 5/7/2025:
Temperatures will rise further, becoming 6-8 degrees Celsius above average. The weather will be relatively hot in general, and hot in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Winds will be light and variable, and maximum temperatures in the capital, Amman, will be between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius.

Friday and Saturday 8-9/5/2025:
The Kingdom is increasingly affected by a relatively hot air mass, so temperatures will rise further, becoming 9-11 degrees Celsius warmer than their average for this time of year. The weather will remain relatively hot to hot in all regions of the Kingdom, with the appearance of high clouds. Maximum temperatures in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba will reach 40 degrees Celsius and perhaps more in the afternoon hours.

A noticeable decline in the cold weather in the coming nights, with pleasant to moderate temperatures.

Minimum temperatures are expected to rise significantly in the coming nights, with moderate to pleasant weather returning across the Kingdom. However, the weather may turn slightly cooler late at night and at dawn in parts of the high mountains and eastern plains, while the weather will be warm in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

The weather will turn very hot in the Jordan Valley and Aqaba at the end of the week.

God willing, the weather is expected to become extremely hot in the Jordan Valley, especially in the central and southern regions, including the Dead Sea and Ghor al-Safi, as well as Aqaba. Temperatures in some of these areas are likely to exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

The weather will be extremely hot, especially during the afternoon and evening hours, so it is recommended to avoid prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight.

A low pressure system over the western Mediterranean is pushing a relatively hot air mass into the region.

Scientifically speaking, weather systems in the Northern Hemisphere are interconnected, with the relationship between the shape of weather systems in southern Europe and the Maghreb countries being inversely related. For the countries of the eastern Mediterranean basin to be affected by low-pressure systems and winter systems, a high-pressure system must be centered over southwestern Europe and the Maghreb countries.

However, in the current situation, the rush of cold winds towards the aforementioned regions leads to the displacement of warm winds towards the eastern Mediterranean countries, resulting in the expansion of a relatively hot air mass with semi-summer characteristics.

And God knows best.
