Weather of Arabia - Temperatures are now recorded within forty levels in most regions of the Kingdom, as the official hourly report issued by Amman Civil Airport indicated that the temperature at the airport at 1:00 p.m. Aqaba now (39 percentile).

And this is in light of the increasing vulnerability of parts of the Kingdom today by the extremely hot air mass rushing from the desert of the Arabian Peninsula towards the Levant, and it is expected that temperatures will continue to rise in the capital and the rest of the regions of the Kingdom during the next few hours.

 

The scientific reason behind this is that the mountain heights are more affected by hot air masses than is the case in the low areas, because the hot air has a lower density, which causes it to rise to the top and collides with the tops of the mountains, while the air has lower temperatures with more density. And it goes down. Also, the proximity of the city of Aqaba to the source of moisture reduces the thermal heating.
