How does the Mediterranean affect Jordan's climate?

Weather of Arabia - The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, and it consists of two main basins separated by a series of rocks called the threshold or promontory. The lowest water depth in it reaches about 400 meters, while the highest depth in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea reaches approximately 3000-5000 meters. .

The Mediterranean basin includes a group of countries located on three continents:

• The continent of Europe: The continent includes Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, and the English province of Gibraltar.

• The continent of Asia: includes Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

• The continent of Africa: includes the Republic of Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, in addition to the island of Cyprus and Malta.

Several things make the presence of the Mediterranean important for Jordan's climate.

• The presence of the Mediterranean Sea as a water source near the region turned its climate into moderate and humid, and had the Kingdom not been geographically located close to the Mediterranean Sea, its climate would have been dry throughout the year.

• The Mediterranean Sea is a source of moisture, and the air depressions coming from Europe gain additional energy before they reach the Levant region, so they reach the Levant regions loaded with rain, God willing.

• The Mediterranean Sea contributes to cooling the hot weather in the Levant during summer days, as it supplies the region with humid air currents that cool the atmosphere and contribute to the appearance of low clouds.
