The first few days of Ramadan are going to be noticeably hotter than the ones we’ve experienced since the beginning of May.

Those fasting will have to abstain from eating food and drinking water from dawn until sunset for 30 days during the holy month of Ramadan, and some of them might find it more difficult than others to adapt to not drinking any liquids due to the scorching heat.

On Wednesday, the temperature is set to reach 30 degrees Celsius in Amman and some parts of the kingdom. In the days that follow, the temperature will continue to rise and could reach 35 degrees Celsius by Saturday.

Those fasting are advised to hydrate very well at Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and when they break their fast, and to stay safe on the road.
