WASM – Weather conditions will remain hot during daytime hours on Saturday and Sunday with temperatures slightly above their seasonal averages. The impact of the hot air mass is concentrated in the eastern desert regions of the Kingdom and desert areas, with temperatures remaining around 34°C in the capital and mountains (typical summer to hot), and weather will be moderate during the night with continued northwesterly winds.
Another drop in temperature on Monday and return of typical summer weather..
Temperature will decline to its typical seasonal averages starting Monday, with weather becoming moderate most of the time and hot during midday and afternoon periods, especially in low-lying areas. The capital and mountains will record temperatures around 32-33°C.
Northwesterly winds are expected to continue blowing across various regions of the Kingdom, becoming active during daytime hours, and also intensifying in high mountains during nighttime hours.
Temperature rise during this period is typical and natural..
WASM Regional Center does not classify current weather conditions as a heat wave standard except for the desert and eastern regions and some low-lying areas, because they did not meet heat wave criteria in terms of intensity, comprehensiveness, and prolonged duration, away from the exaggeration by many local media outlets.
The maximum temperature average in the capital and mountains reaches 32.5°C, while at the northern Marka station it reaches about 33.7°C and approaching 35°C in the Queen Alia International Airport area and Zizya region. Temperature averages in Aqaba, the Jordan Valley, and the Dead Sea range between 41-43°C. No region recorded any record-breaking temperatures during previous days, remaining within their seasonal averages to higher than seasonal averages by about 3-4°C on the previous Thursday.
Temperature rise during summer is considered typical and natural and occurs continuously. The Kingdom is still far from standard and major heat waves at this time, as temperatures will return to their typical summer seasonal averages starting Monday for several days and remain around their seasonal averages between rises and drops.
WASM advises staying away from direct sunlight and increasing fluid intake especially in low-lying, valley, and desert regions of the Kingdom, and setting air conditioning units at 24°C to avoid pressure on the electrical sector.
