Ammonnews : Jordan to see above-seasonal temperatures until Tuesday

Jordan is set for a brief warm spell that holds through Tuesday before a noticeable cool-down arrives midweek. Forecasters indicate temperatures will run several degrees above the long-term average to start the week, especially in the country’s low-lying areas, followed by a return to cooler, breezier conditions from Wednesday onward.

On Monday, thermometers are expected to sit roughly 4–5°C above typical values for this time of year. Most regions will feel mild, while the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba trend warmer. Skies are likely to feature bands of mid- and high-level cloud. Southwesterly winds may freshen at times—particularly over the Badia—kicking up dust and lowering visibility in exposed spots.

Tuesday should mirror Monday’s pattern with lingering warmth and intermittent cloud cover at higher elevations. Southwesterly breezes remain in play, occasionally active, sustaining mild conditions across much of the country and warmth in the valley floors and along the Red Sea coast.

A shift is due on Wednesday as cooler air spreads into most regions. Cloud cover will vary through the day, and there is a chance of spotty, light showers during the afternoon in a few northern locales. Winds turn westerly and may become brisk at times, especially across desert areas where blowing dust could reappear.

Thursday keeps the cooler trend intact. Expect partly cloudy skies in many areas, with low-lying regions still feeling comparatively milder than uplands despite the overall dip in temperatures.

What this means for you

• Low-lying and coastal areas will feel the week’s peak warmth; plan outdoor activities earlier or later in the day if heat-sensitive.
• Desert and open areas may see dust when winds pick up—drivers should watch for reduced visibility, and those with respiratory sensitivities may wish to limit exposure.
• A light layer will be useful from Wednesday as cooler, breezier conditions set in, especially in elevated regions.

Warmer-than-usual bursts in autumn are not uncommon in the Eastern Mediterranean, but a steadily warming background climate increases the odds of above-average temperature days. This week’s brief spike followed by a cooldown is a classic shoulder-season pattern—underscoring how rapidly conditions can shift as the region transitions toward winter.

Forecast details may evolve; residents are encouraged to keep an eye on local updates, especially regarding dust, wind, and any localized showers midweek.
