High summer heat makes midday outdoor exploration uncomfortable in low-elevation areas; coastal and highland locations are more pleasant. Tourist numbers typically drop in the hottest weeks, and prices can be lower for some services.

Average temperature across Jordan in July.
Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash
Midsummer is the warmest period here with hot, dry afternoons frequently in the low to mid-thirties, especially on southern-facing slopes and lower valleys. Evenings cool more than in the Jordan Valley, so open-air cafes in Irbid and Jerash feel pleasant after sunset. There is almost no rain; light, breathable clothing and early starts for outdoor activities will make visits much more comfortable.
Amman, Madaba, Salt
July brings the warmest and driest conditions of the year - blue skies, little chance of rain and daytime highs typically in the low to mid-thirties in the city centre. Night temperatures remain pleasant and you’ll find lively rooftop terraces after dark. For city tours and walking, plan activities for early morning or late afternoon; air-conditioned museums and galleries offer comfortable mid-day respite.
July and August are the hottest months, with long, dry afternoons frequently exceeding 40°C in the lowest parts of the valley and the Dead Sea shoreline. Many visitors time their floating sessions for early morning or after sun-down to avoid extreme radiation and heat stress. Nights cool a little but remain warm; light sleepwear and air conditioning are common in hotels here.
Jerash Festival of Culture and Arts is commonly held in summer with music and performances (dates vary by year).
