The Arabian sun is strong so make sure you have plenty of hats, collared shirts and sunglasses to protect your skin and eyes when you are on the move. Plenty of sun cream of a high factor will also be essential for your trip.
If you are travelling in summer (April to October) then the temperatures can reach above 30°C in most regions. Therefore, you should take plenty of lightweight clothes, preferably made of cotton or linen to keep you as cool as possible.
If you are travelling in winter (November to March) temperatures are generally much cooler with average temperature falling to around 10°C in December and January. Amman becomes notoriously cold at this time. Therefore, you should pack heavier, warmer clothes for this chilly time of year. January also sees 70% of the Jordan’s annual rainfall so make sure you take some waterproofs.
Situated in the heart of the Middle East, Jordan has a very hot and extremely dry climate. Around 90% of Jordan is made up of desert which means there is only an average annual rainfall of 200mm a year, although this average can be much higher in the fertile hills to the northwest of the country, and can be as low as 25-50mm in some of the more arid parts of the desert.
Summer runs from April to October and sees daily temperatures often reach 30°C and above in the daytime. The Sirocco is a hot, dry southerly wind that blows in the summer to the effect of pushing up temperatures and creating strong sandstorms.
Winter runs from November to March so is fairly short but does provide a cool reprieve to the sweltering summer months. January is the coolest month, with temperatures falling to an average of 10°C and an astonishing 70% of the average rainfall falling. This influx in rain can cause erosion and flooding.
