The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday the details of the maximum temperatures recorded in various cities and provinces across the Kingdom. The data revealed a noticeable climatic variation reflecting the country's significant geographical diversity. Dammam recorded 15 degrees Celsius, while the capital, Riyadh, experienced a significant drop to 14 degrees Celsius, indicating relatively cool weather prevailing in the central and eastern regions.

In contrast, the western and coastal regions maintained warmer temperatures, with Mecca recording the highest maximum temperature at 33 degrees Celsius, followed by Jeddah at 32 degrees Celsius, and Yanbu at 31 degrees Celsius. This significant difference between the northern and central regions on the one hand, and the western and southern coastal regions on the other, is a prominent feature of the Kingdom's climate during this time of year.

Climate diversity and the importance of monitoring weather forecasts

This report reflects the diverse geography of Saudi Arabia, where northern regions (such as Tarif, Arar, and Rafha, which recorded a low of 10°C) are more quickly affected by cold air masses, while coastal areas along the Red Sea retain their warmth and relative humidity. This data is of paramount importance to citizens and residents for planning their daily activities and choosing appropriate clothing, especially in areas experiencing sharp drops in temperature.

Experts always emphasize the importance of following the weather bulletins issued by the National Center for Meteorology on a daily basis, not only to know the temperatures, but also to be aware of warnings related to active winds or low horizontal visibility, which contributes to enhancing traffic safety on the highways that connect these far-flung areas.
