Spring weather to shift midweek in Jordan
Jordan is expected to enjoy mild spring weather on Sunday and Monday, before conditions shift toward relatively hot weather starting Tuesday due to an approaching “Khamsini” low-pressure system, according to ArabiaWeather.
Saturday Night: Mild to Cool Conditions
On Saturday night, April 19, temperatures will be pleasant in the early evening but will drop to relatively cold levels late at night and into the early morning, especially in highland areas. Lows in Amman are expected to hover around 14°C, ArabiaWeather reported.
Sunday: Warm Spring Day with Active Winds
Temperatures will dip slightly on Sunday but remain 6–8°C above seasonal averages. The weather will be springlike and warm, leaning toward hot by the afternoon, particularly in the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Moderate northwesterly winds will become active in the southern and eastern regions. By night, the weather will turn relatively cold in highlands but stay warm in low-lying areas.
Monday: Continued Moderate Weather with Slight Cooling
Monday will bring another slight temperature drop, though readings will still be 4–6°C above average. Expect moderate spring weather in the highlands and hotter conditions in the Jordan Valley, Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Northwesterly winds will remain moderate with occasional gusts. Nighttime temperatures will again become relatively cold across much of the country.
Tuesday: Onset of Khamsini System
By Tuesday, April 22, Jordan will begin to feel the effects of a relatively hot air mass associated with a Khamsini low. Temperatures are forecast to rise significantly, with most areas experiencing warm to hot conditions.
Wednesday: Peak Impact of Khamsini Low
The low-pressure system will peak on Wednesday, April 23, with temperatures exceeding 30°C in many regions. Medium- and high-altitude clouds may appear, potentially bringing dusty conditions to some areas.
ArabiaWeather Issues Public Advisory
ArabiaWeather advises residents to wear appropriate clothing for chilly nights on Sunday and Monday before temperatures rise starting Tuesday. Respiratory patients should exercise caution on Tuesday and Wednesday due to the possibility of increased dust in the atmosphere.
While Jordan enjoys calm and pleasant spring weather to start the week, a rapid shift to hotter conditions is expected midweek with the arrival of the Khamsini low, prompting residents to stay alert to weather updates and advisories.
