A slight rise in temperatures is expected, bringing relatively hot conditions in the highlands and the plains, and hot weather in other regions, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its forecast for Thursday and Friday.
A new heat wave is expected to grip the Kingdom on Saturday, with temperatures expected to rise far above the seasonal average, triggering scorching heat countrywide, the JMD added.
In Amman and other highlands, north and south, daytime mercury will range between 34 and 31 degrees Celsius. In the late afternoon and evening hours, cooler weather is forecast as temperatures slide to around 21 or even 18C in the northern highlands. In the Gulf city of Aqaba, it will be much hotter with mercury reaching a high of 43C and a low of 29C.
