Temperatures to Dip Further Friday, Rain Possible in Northern Areas

Amman, Sep. 17 (Petra) — Temperatures will settle around seasonal
averages on Thursday before dipping further on Friday, when parts of
northern Jordan could see morning rain showers amid generally
moderate conditions across most of the country.

The Jordan Meteorological Department said temperatures will decline
slightly on Thursday, bringing moderate weather to most regions,
while the Badia, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea and Aqaba remain
hot. High-altitude clouds are expected, with moderate northwesterly
winds becoming active at times.

A further decline is forecast on Friday, accompanied by increased
cloud cover, particularly across northern and central regions. There
is a chance of morning rain showers over limited parts of the north.

Westerly winds will become active at intervals on Friday and may
raise dust, particularly across the Badia. The Jordan Valley, the
Dead Sea and Aqaba will continue to experience hot conditions despite
the cooler weather elsewhere.

The moderate pattern will hold on Saturday, with low clouds expected
in some areas and hot weather continuing in the Jordan Valley, the
Dead Sea and Aqaba.

Temperatures will edge higher on Sunday, but the increase is not
expected to significantly change conditions, with moderate weather
remaining across most regions and hotter conditions persisting in the
low-lying areas.

Thursday’s highs are forecast at 33 degrees Celsius in East Amman and
31 C in West Amman, with temperatures reaching 29 C in the northern
highlands, 31 C in the Sharah highlands and 32 C across the plains.

Higher readings are expected in the Badia and low-lying regions,
reaching 37 C in the Badia, 39 C in the northern Jordan Valley and at
the Dead Sea, and 40 C in the southern Jordan Valley and Aqaba.
