Arabia Weather website reported that on Friday, a hot air mass will continue to affect Jordan, keeping temperatures above average and resulting in relatively hot to very hot summer conditions.

A statement from Arabia Weather said that cooler and more humid air masses from the eastern Mediterranean will arrive in Jordan, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures on Saturday and Sunday.

Weather Conditions Favorable for High Altitude Flights:
Arabia Weather forecasts temperatures to remain about 6 degrees Celsius above average for this time of year, with generally hot summer weather. The extreme heat will persist in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, Aqaba, and eastern Jordan, with temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius in these areas.

Temperatures in some cities, mostly located in the western mountains including the capital, Amman, will range from 32-35 degrees Celsius. The weather will be suitable for trips and hiking in mountainous and green areas such as Jerash, Ajloun, and Salt, with moderate to brisk northwesterly winds raising dust in desert areas during the afternoon and evening.

Marine Air Mass Approaching Jordan:
Arabia Weather noted that the hot air mass will retreat towards the Arabian Peninsula, to be replaced by cooler and more humid air on Saturday and Sunday.

Temperatures will significantly drop to just above average for this time of year, with normal summer weather prevailing across various regions of the Kingdom. Low clouds will appear in the north and some central regions during early morning hours. Maximum temperatures will range from the high 20s to the low 30s in various cities and regions, while the Jordan Valley and Aqaba will see temperatures in the high 30s, resulting in hot weather in those areas.

Pleasant and Humid Nights:
Arabia Weather also forecasted that starting Friday night and continuing into early next week, Jordan will experience pleasant and humid nights. The weather will be cooler over high mountain peaks and eastern plains during the early morning hours, with increased surface humidity and low clouds. Minimum temperatures in Amman and various cities will range from 19-21 degrees Celsius, and 14-16 degrees Celsius in the southern mountain peaks (the Sharah Mountains) and parts of the eastern plains region.
