Amman (Jordan) hava durumu: Mayıs

May at the Dead Sea is early in the hot half and already hot: regulars give high-80s to low-90s Fahrenheit, which is our row's 31.7C average high, and call May one of the better months precisely because it usually stays under 35C. The water is a long way behind the air, around 21 to 23C in early May, and that is warm enough to float in comfortably - floating being the whole activity, since swimming here is a mistake. The advice attached is three to four litres of water a day, timing your float for early morning or late afternoon, and water shoes, because the bed is rock and sharp salt crystals. Regulars blame the dryness; our row's 52 percent humidity is milder than that word suggests, but a 34C feels-like makes the same point. The record: 23.4C nights, 1.5 precipitation days and 12.7 hours of sun.

Forum posters cite average October temperatures in Amman around 20-25C, with visitors describing conditions as genuinely perfect for sightseeing - not uncomfortably hot the way summer and early September can run, but comfortably warm through the day. Posters consistently note evenings turn noticeably cooler, with the desert air dropping fast once the sun goes down, making a light jacket a sensible addition for after dark. Posters are direct that meaningful rain typically doesn't arrive until November, making October one of the drier, more reliable shoulder-season windows for a Jordan trip. Posters generally rate October as one of the best months to visit Amman, pairing comfortable daytime warmth with cool, pleasant evenings and low rain risk.

April is the month the Jordan forum calls perfect — not too hot, not cold — with Amman near 24°C by day and 11 overnight, and rain down to about four days. The caveat is entirely crowds and cost. April is peak season: it follows Ramadan, cruise ships are calling at Aqaba, Petra is genuinely crowded, and hotels in Wadi Musa book out well ahead. Prices are high to match. The forum's one concrete tactic is worth carrying — get to Petra well before 10am, which is when the tour buses start arriving.
