Jordan in October offers a transition from the intense summer heat to milder autumn conditions. Daytime temperatures typically range from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit (mid-20s to high 20s Celsius), while evenings become noticeably cooler, often dipping into the 50s and 60s Fahrenheit (10s to low 20s Celsius). This period generally experiences low humidity and clear skies, creating comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.
This pleasant climate makes October an ideal time to explore Jordan’s historical sites, such as Petra and Jerash, without the oppressive heat of summer. The cooler temperatures also make hiking and trekking in Wadi Rum and other natural areas more enjoyable. Historically, this transitional month has been a favored period for both local celebrations and increased tourism due to the agreeable weather.
