Heatwave recedes with cooler weather ahead

AMMAN — The impact of the heatwave over the Kingdom has begun to ease, with a noticeable drop in temperatures expected in the coming days, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said on Sunday.

On Sunday, temperatures dipped slightly as the hot air mass affecting the country weakened. Weather conditions remained relatively hot in high mountainous areas and hot elsewhere.

Dusty skies prevailed across much of the Kingdom, accompanied by high-altitude clouds. Moderate northwesterly winds picked up occasionally during the afternoon hours.

Further relief is anticipated on Monday, with the heatwave forecast to retreat more significantly, according to JMD.

A marked drop in temperatures will bring more moderate conditions to most regions. The weather on Monday and Tuesday is expected to be mild in general, with relatively hot conditions continuing in the desert areas, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

Winds will remain moderate from the northwest, becoming active at intervals, the JMD forecast.

By Wednesday, JMD said, temperatures are expected to remain moderate in the highlands and plains, while desert regions, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba will continue to experience relatively warm conditions.

Northwesterly winds will persist at moderate speeds, the department said.
