Jordan in the second month of the year experiences a transition period between winter and spring. Temperatures typically range from cool to mild, with averages between 8C (46F) and 14C (57F). Rainfall is common, contributing to the lush landscapes and wildflower blooms starting to appear, particularly in the northern and western regions. Snowfall is possible, especially at higher elevations like the mountains surrounding Petra.
Understanding Jordan’s climate during this time is essential for travelers planning visits. Packing layers of clothing allows for adjustments to fluctuating daily temperatures. The cooler conditions and potential for precipitation make this period ideal for exploring historical sites and hiking trails, offering a more comfortable experience than the hotter summer months. The increased rainfall is also vital for Jordan’s agriculture and water resources.
