In Amman, temperatures will reach 33°C during the day on
Thursday and dip to 21°C at night, while on Friday temperatures are expected to
rise even higher, reaching 34°C during the day and fall to 20°C at night,
according to the
Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).
In Aqaba, temperatures will reach as high as 40°C on
Thursday and 41°C on Friday. In the northern region, Irbid will see a high of
33°C during the day on Thursday and 34°C on Friday, reported the JMD. There
will also be southeasterly light to northwesterly moderate winds, according to
the JMD.
The warm weather, paired with the end of Friday lockdowns
and the opening of public parks, represents a spark of joy in Jordan. The good
news also comes as cases of
COVID-19 are dropping and the national vaccination
campaign has continued to pick up pace. In an interview with Jordan News, one
Amman resident expressed his excitement to spend time outside during the warm
weather and reduced restrictions.
“They killed Amman when they put that lockdown in the first
place. Many people suffered financially because of it,” local music teacher
Mohammad Al-Mahasees said.
“So now I really can’t wait to have it over.” He added that
he is excited to walk his dog in the public parks, which were closed by the
Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) in early March, as well as to spend more time
exercising outdoors.
