Jordan's temps rose 1.6°C in a century
The Jordan Meteorological Authority has confirmed an increase of approximately 1.6 degrees Celsius in temperatures across the kingdom over the past 100 years, with clear increases in the frequency and severity of heatwaves and their durations. In 2020, five heatwaves were recorded, including an intense heatwave from August 8 to 15, 2025, which is among the warmest on record, with some stations recording temperatures of 49.6°C. Current forecasts do not indicate full-scale heatwaves, but climate change makes it likely that more intense heat periods will occur, necessitating enhanced adaptation measures, public awareness, and improvements in early warning systems to address the impacts of heatwaves on health and the economy.
