And breaking the record previously recorded in the capital, Amman, in terms of temperature, has many indications and meanings that must be studied a little, namely:

 

  • 1- The record temperature that was recorded at exactly 1:30 p.m. on Monday 8/14/2023 in the capital, Amman, is the highest temperature recorded in 100 years, since the Kingdom’s climate records began.
  • 2- Recording a new absolute maximum temperature record makes the heat wave that affected the Kingdom a strong, historical and unprecedented heat wave.
  • 3- Breaking the previous temperature record recorded in the capital, Amman, will leave the door open to the possibility that the Kingdom will be exposed to more severe heat waves in the future.
  • 4- Recording record temperatures confirms the need to use early warning and advance warning systems to deal optimally with such weather conditions.
  • 5- Scoring record marks confirms the importance of raising awareness of climate change and taking measures to adapt to severe weather conditions, including health education and improving infrastructure and services.
