Jordan Weather in September: A Quick Guide

Planning a trip to Jordan in September? September is somewhere between summer and autumn in the northern hemisphere, and it’s a great time to visit Jordan – especially if you don’t love hot weather.

September is one of the most popular months to visit Jordan, because of the pleasant weather; gone are the sweltering days in Aqaba, but the cold winter nights of the year haven’t yet arrived either. I’m planning my next trip to Jordan in September or October, since I’ve only ever visited in the spring before.

Below you’ll find the basics of what Jordan weather in September is like and how to prepare for it. I’ve also included travel tips and a few special events that happen in Jordan during September, to help you make the most of your time in the country.
