Jordan | What does it mean that August ends with humid and moderate weather, and is there a statistical relationship with the strength of the rainy season?

Arab Weather - In its final days, weather forecasts indicate that the current month of August will end, God willing, with temperatures lower than the general average and moderate and humid summer weather in various regions of the Kingdom.

Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that, in contrast to last year, when temperatures were high in August, and the Kingdom was affected by a strong and exceptional heat wave, with temperatures in the capital Amman exceeding 40 degrees Celsius for several days, it is expected, God willing, that the current month of August will end without heat waves and with temperatures around the general average.

Is there a relationship between the moderate and humid weather and the absence of heat waves in August and the strength of the upcoming rainy season?

Arab Weather experts say that there is a local study conducted by a number of interested parties, including Arab Weather experts for the past 30 years at the level of the Kingdom, linking the behavior of temperature and humidity in the month of August in Jordan with the strength of the rainy season that follows it. Here we would like to point out that this study is a local study at the level of the Kingdom and the capital Amman and does not include all the countries of the Levant, as the countries of the Levant, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria, especially the coastal areas and those close to the coast, are naturally exposed in the summer to humid weather due to their proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, while humid and moderate weather in the summer is not considered normal in Jordan due to the Kingdom’s distance from the sea and the Kingdom being affected on many days during the summer by dry easterly winds that rush behind the hot masses.

Good statistics for the current month of August.

Experts at Arab Weather say that the current statistics for the month of August are actually good at the level of the Kingdom and the capital Amman, as with the approaching end of the month it seems that the temperature rates will end up within the normal rates while the humidity rates indicate an average humidity rate throughout the entire month. Compared to previous years, the coefficient for the month of August is better than previous years, which raises hopes for a good rainy season, God willing.

However, despite this, it is not possible to determine the behavior and strength of the upcoming rainy season based on the August coefficient alone, as there are several factors that must be taken into account, such as the temperature of the seas and oceans, the behavior of the Arctic and North Atlantic coefficients, in addition to studying the behavior of the temperature in the North Pacific Ocean. The weather phenomenon with the greatest impact on the global level, which is the phenomenon of fluctuations in the tropical part of the Pacific Ocean, cannot be ignored, as expectations indicate the development of the La Niña phenomenon, which is the cooling of the tropical part of the Pacific Ocean, which is statistically linked to cooler seasons in the Kingdom in terms of temperatures and rainfall around less than average in general.

We at Arab Weather note that this study was conducted by a number of interested parties and its direct effects cannot be determined without neglecting other climate phenomena. We will provide you with the latest developments in the weather conditions as soon as they are issued.
