Check the live forecast above before heading out in Jordan today, as conditions vary sharply from the humid coast at Aqaba to the cooler highlands around Amman and Petra. The country’s weather is defined by its altitude and proximity to the Mediterranean, so expecting a single temperature across Jordan would be misleading.
What is the weather like in Amman and Petra right now?
Amman, sitting at around 800 metres above sea level, typically sees cooler daytime temperatures than the Jordan Valley, especially in winter when frost and occasional snow are possible. Petra, further south and also elevated, shares a similar pattern: warm, dry summers and chilly winters. The live forecast above gives you the precise conditions for both cities today, including any chance of rain or wind that might affect travel between them.
How does Jordan’s weather change by month?
Jordan experiences a Mediterranean-influenced climate with hot, dry summers from June to September and cooler, wetter winters from December to February. Spring (March to May) and autumn (October to November) offer the most comfortable temperatures for sightseeing, with daytime highs in the low 20s Celsius in Amman and Petra. The Dead Sea and Aqaba stay warmer year-round, making them popular winter escapes. For a full breakdown, see our UK weather hub for comparison.
