Hot weather grips Jordan ahead of expected cooling early July
Forecasts suggest that temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will remain 4 to 6 degrees Celsius above seasonal averages, bringing relatively hot to hot conditions during the daytime across most regions, while nights are expected to remain mild.
Cooler Start to July
According to updated weather models, a notable drop in temperatures is expected on Tuesday, the first day of July. This change is attributed to the incursion of an upper-level trough over the region, driven by a deepening low-pressure system over the Black Sea and Turkey. The result will be a flow of cooler air into the eastern Mediterranean basin, including Jordan.
Consequently, temperatures are expected to return to their seasonal norms by midweek, ushering in more moderate summer conditions across the Kingdom with no heatwaves in sight.

Greece battles wildfires across country, evacuates villages
Ammon News - Firefighters were battling wildfires across Greece and the Western Balkans on Saturday as the south of Europe sweltered under the third heatwave of the summer, with some villages and settlements being evacuated in Greece and Albania. Explosions could be heard as huge clouds of smoke covered Drosopigi village 25 km north of Athens, where factories with flammable material are located. Helicopters dropped water and 145 firefighters battled the flames, assisted by 44 vehicles, seven helicopters and 10 aircraft. Two houses caught fire while residents of the nearby village Krioneri were instructed by authorities to leave towards Athens. Five people were taken to hospitals over burns and smoke inhalation. Temperatures in Greece were forecast to reach up to 44 degrees Celsius on Saturday, the Greek weather service said. "In the last 24 hours alone, 52 agroforestry fires broke out, 44 of which were dealt with immediately, in their initial stage," said Vassilios Vathrakogiannis, a spokesperson for the Fire Brigade. In neighbouring Albania, 26 fires broke out throughout the country on Saturday, following a large fire near the southern Albanian town of Delvina on Friday which injured three people and forced the evacuation of about 2,000 residents. On the Greek island of Evia, 128 firefighters and 29 vehicles were deployed to put out fires, assisted by six aircraft and seven helicopters, but strong winds were hampering their efforts. Residents of the island's Triada area were evacuated while two fire trucks were damaged and five firefighters injured during the operation. The fire on Evia is the latest in a series of bushfires stoked by strong winds and dry conditions this month. On the island of Kythera, residents from several settlements were evacuated to safe areas and Coast Guard forces said they rescued 138 people, including an infant, from the beach of Limnionas near the area of the fire.
