Amman: The hot air mass’s effect gradually recedes from the Kingdom as temperatures fall slightly but still stay around 5 to 6 degrees Celsius higher than average for this time of year, the Jordan Meteorological Department said in its daily update.

The weather is hot throughout most of the Kingdom, but it gets extremely hot in the Badia, the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba.

Winds will be northwesterly moderate, picking up during night hours.

The department warns in its report about the risks associated with dehydration and direct sunlight exposure, particularly for the elderly and sick, the possibility of forest fires, the risk of leaving children in closed vehicles, even for a brief time, and the risk of leaving flammable materials, perfumes, and sterilizers inside of cars.

Temperatures in the capital Amman will range between a high of 35 degrees Celsius and a low of 23 degrees Celsius.

Highs in the port city of Aqaba will reach 44 degrees Celsius during the day, sliding to 26 degrees at night.
