The Weather in Jordan A Journey Through the Seasons
At Jordan Address, we believe every season in Jordan tells its own story each with a unique charm that transforms how travelers experience our country. Whether you’re exploring the rose-red city of Petra, floating in the Dead Sea, or wandering through Amman’s ancient streets, understanding Jordan’s weather can help you choose the perfect time to visit.
Spring March to May
Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Jordan. The desert blooms with wildflowers, and the hills of Ajloun and Dana turn lush and green. The temperatures are pleasantly warm around 18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F) making it ideal for hiking, sightseeing, and outdoor adventures. It’s the season when Jordan feels most alive, full of color, fragrance, and energy.
Summer June to August
Summer brings sunshine and longer days. While the southern regions like Wadi Rum and Aqaba can reach 35°C to 40°C (95°F to 104°F), the dry heat is often balanced by cool evenings. Amman enjoys a more moderate climate, especially in the high areas. It’s the best season for travelers who love the sea, as the Red Sea in Aqaba offers world-class diving, snorkeling, and beach relaxation.
Autumn September to November
Autumn is a favorite among travelers seeking mild weather and golden landscapes. The temperatures settle between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F), creating the perfect atmosphere for exploring Petra’s trails or enjoying dinner under the stars in Wadi Rum. The light during this season is soft and cinematic ideal for photography and romantic experiences.
Winter December to February
Winter in Jordan is gentle and cozy. In Amman and Petra, temperatures range from 8°C to 15°C (46°F to 59°F), with occasional rain that freshens the air. The mountains of Ajloun and the desert plateaus can even see snow, creating rare and magical scenery. Meanwhile, the Dead Sea and Aqaba remain warm year-round the perfect escape for sun-seekers in colder months.
