Jordan continues to bake in a heatwave on Thursday, triggering a significant increase in mercury levels to reach higher than annual average by 4 to 6 degrees Celsius, reaching 38C in Amman, the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD) said in its daily brief.

Cooler weather is forecast at night as temperatures slide to around 25 degrees in the Capital, the department added, indicating that winds will be northeasterly to northwesterly, blowing dust at times.

The southernmost Red Sea port of Aqaba and the Jordan Valley will continue to reel under sweltering weather with temperature breaking into the 42-43C vicinity.

The weather department warned the public of direct exposure to sunlight, mainly at noon.

Over the weekend, similar scorching weather will continue to persist countrywide, with clouds at various altitudes, the JMD added, noting that light and spotty shower are also forecast on Friday in the southern and eastern parts of the Kingdom.
