Saudi Arabia weather: Expected temperatures today in the Kingdom's cities
An overview of today's weather in Saudi Arabia
The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued its daily weather forecast for Saturday across the Kingdom's various regions and cities. The report revealed a significant variation in maximum and minimum temperatures, with Riyadh recording 31 degrees Celsius, Dammam 28 degrees, Mecca 29 degrees, and Medina 28 degrees Celsius, reflecting the diverse climate characteristic of the Kingdom's vast geography.
Climate context and the role of the meteorological center
Saudi Arabia has a hot desert climate in most of its regions, particularly the central and eastern areas, while it is more temperate in the southwestern highlands, such as Abha and Taif, and mild and humid along the western and eastern coasts. The National Center of Meteorology plays a vital role in monitoring these climatic changes and providing accurate and reliable forecasts. The center was established as the official body responsible for monitoring weather phenomena and providing meteorological services to all sectors in the Kingdom, thus contributing to supporting planning and decision-making in various fields.
The importance and impact of weather forecasts
Daily weather reports are of paramount importance, extending far beyond simply knowing whether the day will be hot or cold. Locally, these forecasts help residents plan their daily activities, choose appropriate clothing, and take necessary precautions while driving in case of strong winds or dust storms. Regionally, this data directly impacts vital sectors such as agriculture, where farmers rely on rainfall and temperature forecasts to determine irrigation and harvesting schedules. It is also essential for the aviation and maritime sectors to ensure the safety of operations. Internationally, this data is particularly important during the Hajj and Umrah seasons, where it aids in crowd management and ensures the safety and comfort of millions of visitors arriving in Mecca and Medina from around the world.
