Summer stability hasn't begun yet... Clear fluctuations in temperatures and weather are expected next week.

Despite many people feeling that the weather has become purely summery, weather maps indicate that weather fluctuations will continue during the coming week in Jordan, the Levant in general, and Iraq, with clear changes that require attention and not rushing to treat the weather as a stable summer.

Frequent wind activity
Forecasts indicate a noticeable increase in wind activity starting from Friday, which will stir up dust and sand, especially in desert and open areas, leading to a temporary decrease in horizontal visibility at certain times.

There are indications that active winds will recur more than once during the coming week, accompanied by dust and sandstorms.

Noticeable fluctuations in temperatures
The weather will not follow a consistent pattern; after the temperature rises on some days, it will drop again with cooler air masses, which means clear temperature differences between one day and another, and even between daytime and nighttime hours, and the return of cooler weather during the nighttime hours.

Dust storms associated with the Khamsin winds
The Khamsin activity will return again during the coming week, which means opportunities for dust storms and dusty conditions in various regions of Jordan, the Levant and Iraq, especially with the wind speed increasing at some times.

Limited chance of rain
Despite the sometimes warm weather, there is still a chance of scattered showers in limited parts of the Kingdom and some areas of the Levant, especially with the impact of local instability during the second half of May.
