AMMAN — The Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) has predicted a day of comparatively warm temperatures on Monday, August 21.

Looking ahead, the Meteorological Department projects a minor escalation in temperatures for Tuesday. This increase is anticipated to result in hot weather across the kingdom. Cloud formations are expected to emerge at medium and high altitudes, accompanied by moderate northwesterly winds, Jordan News Agency, Petra reported.

Wednesday will uphold the prevalent hot weather conditions throughout various regions of the kingdom, and clouds will continue to grace the skies at medium and high altitudes.

A subtle drop in temperatures is projected for Thursday, so the weather is expected to be slightly cooler in high elevation mountain areas and hot across the remaining regions.

Citizens are urged to exercise caution during the early morning hours due to possible reduced horizontal visibility caused by fog over mountainous terrains and plains. Furthermore, there is a heightened risk of direct exposure to prolonged sunlight during peak hours.

The JMD also advised against leaving children unattended in enclosed vehicles. Additionally, it is strongly recommended not to store sanitizers, perfumes, or any flammable substances within parked vehicles. As a preventive measure against wild fires, residents are advised to abstain from igniting fires in forested and grassy regions.
