Jordan: Deir Alla records highest temperature in Jordan amid heatwave at 46.2°C
AMMAN — Deir Alla station recorded on Monday the highest temperature in the Kingdom at 46.2°C, followed by Al Baqoura at 45.8°C, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD). Southern Al Azraq recorded 44.5°C, followed by Wadi Al Rayyan, Zarqa, and Al Jafr at 44°C, then Aqaba at 43.9°C, the JMD said as reported by Al Mamlaka TV. Wadi Al Dhuleil recorded 43.4°C, Al Safawi 43°C, and Queen Alia International Airport 42.5°C. Meanwhile, Spokesperson for the Jordan Electric Power Company Mohammed Maharmeh stressed that enhancing the company's readiness does not eliminate the possibility of power outages due to increased loads during the current heatwave. He noted that the company's teams work to respond 'swiftly and address malfunctions as soon as they occur,' Al Mamlaka TV added. Maharmeh added that the heatwave has increased electricity loads due to rising demand and consumption, noting that outage management over the past few days was handled 'smoothly', ensuring the quickest possible restoration of power. The average repair and restoration time was only one hour, according to Maharmeh. The spokesperson pointed out that power outages under these conditions are normal due to the sharp rise in temperatures and high consumption, stressing the importance of rationalising consumption by citizens. Maharmeh urged electric vehicle owners to charge their cars after midnight to reduce pressure on the grid during peak hours. © Copyright The Jordan Times. All rights reserved.

UAE sends emergency teams to battle wildfires in Albania
A UAE emergency task force has arrived in Albania to help tackle wildfires which have forced people to flee their homes and caused widespread damage. President Sheikh Mohamed ordered a number of specialised units to the capital, Tirana, to deliver critical support to relief efforts. The Emirates has sent aircraft, equipment and materials to help contain the raging fires, which come amid a summer heatwave that is gripping the Balkans region and other parts of Europe. The humanitarian operation is being carried by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Interior, represented by Abu Dhabi Civil Defence. The crucial assistance reflects the UAE's solidarity with the Albanian government and its people, state news agency Wam reported. The UAE is delivering vital support as soaring temperatures spark a series of large wildfires across the Mediterranean. In Italy, a four-year-old boy died of heatstroke in Sardinia and extreme weather alerts were issued for a number of major cities. Meanwhile, France has sent out heatwave warnings covering about half of the country and Spain has raised the alarm over dangerous conditions in Zaragoza and the Basque Country. The surging temperatures in August follow on from the world's third hottest July on record. The average surface temperature last month was 1.25°C above the average pre-industrial level.
