Jordan’s climate varies from Mediterranean along the north-west to arid desert inland, so the live forecast above shows the conditions for your specific destinations – whether you’re checking Amman, Petra or the Dead Sea – and helps you plan layers or sun protection accordingly.
What is the weather like in Jordan throughout the year?
Jordan has two main seasons: a hot, dry summer from May to September and a cooler, wetter winter from December to February. In Amman, summer highs often reach 32 °C, while winter lows can drop to 5 °C with occasional rain. The southern desert, including Petra and Wadi Rum, sees even greater swings – daytime heat in summer exceeds 38 °C, but nights can be chilly. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable temperatures for travel, typically 20–28 °C.
What should I pack for a trip to Jordan?
Pack light, breathable clothing for daytime, plus a warm layer for desert evenings and winter visits. In summer, bring sunscreen, a hat and reusable water bottle. For winter, a jacket and waterproofs are useful, especially in Amman. If you’re exploring Petra or the Dead Sea, sturdy walking shoes and swimwear are essential. Always check the live forecast above for the week you’re travelling.
What is the best time to visit Jordan?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer mild temperatures perfect for sightseeing. Summer can be very hot, particularly in the desert and the Jordan Valley, while winter is cooler and wetter but still manageable with the right clothing.
How reliable is the 10-day forecast for Jordan?
Short-term forecasts (3–5 days) are reliable for most of Jordan. Longer outlooks, such as the 14-day forecast, give a general trend but can shift in the mountainous regions around Amman and Petra. Always cross-check with the live forecast above.
Does it snow in Jordan?
Snow is uncommon but possible, especially in Amman and higher elevations, usually once or twice a year in January or February. When it does occur, it often disrupts travel for a day or two. The rest of the country rarely sees snow.
