Average temperature across Jordan in April.
Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash
Late spring warmth takes hold across northern valleys, with daytime highs often in the low to mid-twenties and cool nights that still require a sweater. The countryside is at its most photogenic after the winter rains - green terraces and flowering thyme make for excellent walking around Ajloun and small villages near Irbid. Travelers should be prepared for occasional dusty gusts if a khamsin blows through, so sunglasses and a scarf are handy.
Amman, Madaba, Salt
The city blossoms into spring in April with long, mild days and cool nights; daytime temperatures commonly reach the high teens to low twenties. Open-air cafés fill up as locals enjoy the sun and day trips to nearby sites like Mount Nebo and the Madaba mosaics are comfortable without summer crowds. Occasional dusty gusts from the south can appear, so keep light protection and sunglasses handy.
