Temperatures will remain high in the eastern badlands region and desert areas of the kingdom, where temperatures will exceed 40 degrees Celsius and in the high 30s in both Zarqa and the eastern badlands region as well as the Jordan Valley and Aqaba.

Active winds will blow during the end of the week, especially during the afternoon and evening periods and during the influence of hot weather, with renewed activity at night and becoming strong in some mountainous areas, with gusts that may exceed 40 km/hour due to the large thermal difference between the hot eastern areas and the less hot western areas.
