ペトラ 7月の天気

Wadi Rum-forum threads asking whether mid-July is too hot for a desert tour describe daytime readings as genuinely intense, posters citing forecasts in the high thirties to low forties Celsius. Regulars call full-day tours still doable despite the heat, operators building a longer lunch break to wait out the worst hours. Posters describe the desert as cooling considerably once the sun goes down, nighttime readings dropping to a comfortable range by comparison. Regulars call Bedouin camp tents without fans, AC or electricity the standard setup, real heat tolerance necessary for anyone staying overnight in July. Posters recommend real sun protection and far more water than feels necessary regardless of activity. Regulars call the landscape still worth the heat for most visitors, sunrise and sunset both more comfortable windows for exploring. The record: 34.8C days feeling like 35C, 20.8C nights, effectively no measurable precipitation and 35 percent humidity.

Regulars describe this as transitional - early in the month still unbearably hot for children or older visitors, while the back half brings falling temperatures and a genuinely comfortable window for hiking, neither too hot nor too cold. Our row backs the dry heat, 31.1C reading as a real 31C, over 19.6C nights, with rain essentially absent, 0.2mm and effectively zero rainy days, and humidity down to 46 percent. Regulars are consistent on one practical tip regardless of exactly which week a visit falls in: the site opens at 6am, and arriving early is the standard way to see the most before the day's heat builds. Dry desert heat rather than the humid version found in Aqaba is what regulars say makes even the hot stretch more bearable than the number alone suggests. The record: 11.2 hours of sun, a 15.4 kph wind and AQI 55.

March and October are the two months regulars name as Jordan's best, and March comes with a catch in both directions. The wildflowers run from now to May, which is why the country fills and hotel and camp prices climb. And it is still inside the wet half of the year: our 19.5mm across 3.1 days is nothing in itself, but rain upstream can close this site for the day, which is the risk to check rather than the forecast. Days reach 18.9C and feel like 16C; nights fall to 8.1C and feel like 5C, a ten-degree drop on very dry air - 50 percent humidity, a dew point of 1.2C. Layers rather than a coat. The record: 10.7 hours of sun, a 17.4 kph wind and AQI 52.

Regulars call early November one of the best weeks of the Jordanian year and then add the altitude: this site sits high, so mornings and shaded rock stay cold long after the sun is up, and the night wants a jacket rather than a jumper. Our row gives 20.5C by day reading as 18C and 11C at night reading as 9C, at 53 percent humidity with a dew point of 4.6C. Rain is almost nothing, 5.8mm across 1.4 days - but the one thing to check before walking is whether any has fallen upstream, because this is a canyon and flash flooding has closed the site in wet years. Sightseeing starts early and finishes in daylight at 10.6 hours. The record: 9.4 hours of sun and AQI 50.

May at Petra is before the worst of the heat and already hot enough to organise the day around. The standing advice is to be at the entrance around six, seven at the latest: you miss the midday sun, you get the site with fewer people in it, and you have time for the walk out. There is very little shade anywhere inside. What regulars recommend wearing is counter-intuitive - cotton, long sleeves and long trousers, to keep the sun off arms and legs - plus a hat, sunscreen and more water than you think you need. The Monastery climb takes an hour to an hour and a half. The record: 28.4C days that feel like 27C, 15.9C nights, humidity 34 percent, 1.2 precipitation days and 12.6 hours of sun.
