Climate diversity and its impact in the Kingdom
The list above illustrates the significant temperature variations, which is to be expected given the vast size and diverse terrain of Saudi Arabia. While low-lying and coastal areas like Mecca and Jeddah experience relatively high temperatures, mountainous and highland regions such as As-Soudah and Al-Baha enjoy mild to cool temperatures. As-Soudah, for example, recorded a low of only 18 degrees Celsius, making it a popular destination for those seeking cooler weather.
This climatic diversity plays an important role in economic and tourism activities; domestic tourism increases towards the cold and southern regions, while major cities such as Riyadh and Dammam maintain their commercial and economic activity with the relatively mild weather at such times.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology
The National Center for Meteorology is the official body authorized to issue weather forecasts and early warnings in the Kingdom. These reports are of paramount importance not only to individuals but also to vital sectors such as aviation, agriculture, and maritime navigation. The center utilizes the latest technologies and monitoring systems to observe weather phenomena, including temperatures, wind speed, and dust storms that may affect horizontal visibility in some areas, such as Al-Jawf and Sakaka, as indicated in regular weather reports.
Experts always advise following official weather forecasts on a daily basis, especially when planning to travel on highways or make road trips, to ensure public safety and avoid any sudden weather changes.
