Annual Water Temperature Trend

Aqaba, on Jordan’s Red Sea coast, has seawater that is noticeably warmer than much of the Mediterranean, with clear seasonal variation. In winter (December–February) surface temperatures typically sit around 20–22°C, rising through spring to roughly 22–26°C. Summer months (June–August) bring the warmest water, commonly 26–30°C and occasionally approaching 31°C in sheltered bays, while autumn (September–November) usually ranges from about 24–28°C as the sea slowly cools. Local conditions such as shallow bays, tides and wind can produce small day-to-day differences, but overall Aqaba’s sea remains relatively warm for extended periods compared with many other regional coasts.
