Through its platform on X (formerly known as Twitter), the center urged people to avoid direct exposure to sunlight during midday and to increase fluid intake. Additionally, it advised against igniting fires in forested or dry grassy areas.

Likewise, the center called for a controlled use of air conditioning to mitigate the risks of excessive electrical loads.


Furthermore, it emphasized not leaving children unattended inside closed, parked vehicles exposed to the sun. It also stressed the importance of not leaving sanitizers inside vehicles during temperature spikes, due to their flammable nature.

The center also advised refraining from swimming except in designated areas and cautioned against swimming in agricultural ponds.

On Saturday, the peak temperature is expected to reach 41 degrees Celsius, followed by 42 degrees Celsius on Sunday in Amman, according to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD).
