Jordan: Large temperature differences between the east and west of the Kingdom, exceeding 12 degrees Celsius. Details.

Arab Weather – Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center said that the Kingdom will be affected by a hot air mass during the second half of this week. Its direct impact is expected to be concentrated in the eastern regions, leading to a significant rise in temperatures there.

In contrast, the western regions of the Kingdom will remain under the influence of ocean currents, contributing to a reduction in the direct impact of the hot air mass, creating a clear temperature difference of more than 10 degrees Celsius between eastern and western Jordan.

A significant rise in temperatures in eastern Jordan

The eastern regions of Jordan are expected to experience a significant rise in temperatures due to the influence of a hot air mass, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. Maximum temperatures in these areas may exceed 42 degrees Celsius, making the weather extremely hot, especially during the daytime.

Sea currents break the heat in western Jordan.

In contrast, the western regions of the Kingdom, including the capital, Amman, will remain under the influence of ocean currents.
These currents will contribute to a significant drop in temperatures compared to the eastern part of the Kingdom, where highs are expected to reach around 33-34 degrees Celsius in western Amman, the capital, with the peak of the hot air mass. This will make the weather cooler than in the eastern regions, with expected temperature differences between eastern and western Amman.

A temperature difference of up to 12 degrees Celsius between the east and west of the country

This marked temperature contrast between eastern and western Jordan reflects the different influences of hot air masses and ocean currents.
As these weather conditions persist, the temperature difference between the two regions is expected to remain pronounced, requiring attention, especially in the eastern regions, which will witness a significant rise in temperatures.

For example, the maximum temperature on Wednesday and Thursday in the Marka area east of the capital will be 33-34 degrees Celsius, while in the Ruwaished area east of the Kingdom, it will reach 41-43 degrees Celsius.

This sharp temperature difference between eastern and western Jordan is attributed to the concentration of a hot air mass coming from the Arabian Peninsula over the eastern regions. Meanwhile, the colors on the map differ significantly in the western part of the Kingdom, where a cooler air mass is present, accompanied by ocean currents that break the intense heat. It's also worth noting that the nighttime weather in the western part of the Kingdom will be pleasant and suitable for outdoor seating.

And God knows best.
