AMMAN, July 26 (Petra) -- The Kingdom will experience moderate summer weather through Sunday and Monday across most regions, though hot conditions will persist in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).

Low-altitude clouds are expected over the northern Kingdom, with moderate northwesterly winds picking up periodically during the evening hours.

By Tuesday, temperatures will begin a slight upward trend. While the mountain highlands and plains will maintain comfortable summer weather, the Badia will turn relatively hot. Scorching conditions will continue in the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and Aqaba under active northwesterly winds.

Heat will intensify further on Wednesday as temperatures rise across the country, bringing relatively hot weather to most areas, high heat to the Badia, and extreme temperatures to the Jordan Valley and southern coastal regions.

In the capital, East Amman will see highs of 31 degrees Celsius and lows of 19 degrees Celsius today, while West Amman cools to between 29 degrees Celsius and 17 degrees Celsius. Highs in the northern highlands will hover around 27 degrees Celsius, while the Sharah mountains will reach 28 degrees Celsius.

Elsewhere, daytime temperatures are forecast at 35 degrees Celsius in the Badia, 31 degrees Celsius in the plains, and 37 degrees Celsius in the northern Jordan Valley. Extreme heat will dominate the southern Jordan Valley and the Gulf of Aqaba, both topping 40 degrees Celsius, with the Dead Sea peaking at 39 degrees Celsius.
