Jordan | Additional Temperature Drop over the Weekend and Continued Moderate Summer Weather

WASM – The Kingdom and the eastern Mediterranean region will continue to be affected by a moderate and humid air mass advancing from the far north of the European continent, with temperatures below the summer seasonal averages by approximately 2-4 degrees Celsius in general.

It is expected that the moderate air mass will resume its advance on Friday gradually, preceded by a slight and temporary rise in temperature on Thursday, and the coming nights will remain slightly cold in the mountains and plains, while the weather remains hot in the low-lying areas, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea, but less than usual compared to this time of year.

Temporary rise in temperature on Thursday in preparation for renewed moderate conditions..
Temperature will rise slightly on Thursday and temporarily during Thursday daytime in preparation for the resumption of a humid and moderately warm air mass advancing towards the Kingdom, with temperatures between the late twenties and early thirties Celsius in the capital and mountains.

Clear drop in temperature over the weekend and pleasant summer days continuing..
Temperature will gradually decrease on Friday and clouds will increase, with renewed moderate summer conditions, and the atmosphere will be slightly cold in the high mountains at night and in the morning amid a temperature drop below its seasonal averages by approximately 5 degrees Celsius, with temperatures between mid and late twenties Celsius in the capital and mountains and around 18 degrees Celsius at night.

Moderate summer conditions will continue until mid-next week..
Unusually for this hot summer period and in contrast to previous years, moderate summer conditions will continue until early August and until mid-next week, as the moderate summer conditions affecting the Kingdom will gradually recede but temporarily.

Rise in temperature at the end of next week to seasonal summer levels..
As a result of the succession of heat waves moving towards the European continent and the expected renewal of their influence clearly over most of its parts, coinciding with the intensification of seasonal rains in southern and western Saudi Arabia and Sudan, this leads to a slight change in atmospheric circulation regulation. This slight change causes a slight rise in temperature compared to the moderate summer period that affected the Mediterranean region, but this rise will be temporary with the expectation of the influence of another moderate air mass with prolonged effects during the second week of August on the region.

This atmospheric moderation is expected to continue until the beginning of the last third of the month, followed by an anticipated hot period. It is worth noting that WASM Regional Center, based on the latest data from the climate model it ran during the last week of July, expects the hot period to be short and weak, unlike the data it obtained during June due to changes in atmospheric behavior and as a result of several constantly changing climatic factors.

WASM Regional Center issues updates on changes that may occur to climate model data, especially during the summer season, as the main climatic factors are characterized by rapid changes during this period, while they are more stable and consistent during winter. The most important reason is atmospheric circulation and the influence of southern polar circulation clearly on the heat of tropical oceanic regions, which play a major role in the atmospheric system, noting that the southern part of the atmosphere is affected by southern winter circulation.
