Average temperature across Jordan in November.
Irbid, Ajloun, Jerash
By November, the weather has become noticeably cooler and wetter: steady rains begin to reshape the landscape and nights often dip to single figures Celsius. Tracts of forested highland near Ajloun take on autumn tones and archaeological sites are quieter but sodden underfoot. Travellers should prepare for sporadic stormy days and ensure vehicles can handle muddy rural tracks.
Amman, Madaba, Salt
November marks the transition to the wet season with more frequent rain and cooler conditions; daytime highs usually sit in the mid-teens. The city can be grey and atmospheric, which suits museum days and sampling Jordanian cuisine in cosy restaurants. Expect slippery stone steps and some road spray after storms - a waterproof outer layer and sensible footwear will be useful.
December is cooler and wetter, with daytime temperatures generally in the mid-to-high teens and more regular rain events that can close wadi tracks after heavy showers. The Dead Sea is still comfortable for floating on clear days but evenings require a warm layer. Expect fewer crowds and good off-season hotel rates, though plan for occasional interruptions to desert trips caused by storms.
There are no major festivals or events in Jordan during November to be aware of.
