Amman, August 15 (Petra)– The heat wave will subside throughout the Kingdom on Friday, with temperatures still rising by three to five degrees Celsius over their yearly normal. Most places will have scorching weather, with the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba experiencing extremely hot temperatures. Particularly in the Badia regions, mild northwesterly winds that occasionally become active will stir up dust.

In its report, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) cautions against extended exposure to direct sunlight during peak hours and the infrequent occurrence of decreased horizontal visibility in the Badia districts due to dust.

Most places will experience ordinary summer weather, with temperatures in the Dead Sea, Jordan Valley, Badia, and Aqaba being hot to hot and occasional clouds showing up at low elevations. Moderate northwesterly winds will occasionally turn active, particularly in the Badia regions.
