Today's maximum temperatures in Saudi Arabia: Mecca 30 and Tarif 8
The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia announced today, Tuesday, details of the maximum temperatures recorded in various regions and cities of the Kingdom. This daily report comes as part of the Center's ongoing efforts to monitor weather conditions and provide citizens and residents with the latest meteorological data, which helps in planning daily activities and taking necessary precautions, especially given the weather fluctuations the region is experiencing during this time of year.
The data revealed a significant temperature variation across different regions, reflecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's considerable geographical and climatic diversity. While the western and coastal areas experience relatively warm weather, the northern regions continue to record noticeably lower temperatures, a typical pattern in the Kingdom's climate, which combines arid desert conditions with temperate climates in the highlands and coastal areas.

Analytical reading of the weather situation
The recorded figures indicate significant temperature differences, reaching up to 22 degrees Celsius between the highest recorded temperature (30 degrees Celsius in Mecca, Sharurah, and Al-Qunfudhah) and the lowest maximum temperature (8 degrees Celsius in Tarif). This variation underscores the importance of closely monitoring weather forecasts for each region individually. Northern regions such as Tarif, Al-Qurayyat, and Arar require wearing heavy winter clothing and being cautious of cold waves, while areas like Jeddah and Jazan enjoy milder, warmer daytime temperatures.
The National Center for Meteorology plays a vital role in public safety by monitoring these changes. The Kingdom is typically affected at this time by air masses from various sources, leading to increased surface wind activity or fog formation in some areas, as indicated in the accompanying weather reports for the Eastern Province. Experts always advise following official updates, especially for travelers on highways connecting the Kingdom's far-flung regions, to ensure safe journeys in light of the expected weather conditions.
