Climate diversity and the importance of weather monitoring
The National Center for Meteorology's reports are of paramount importance in the daily lives of citizens and residents, as this accurate data contributes to organizing outdoor activities and travel on the highways that connect the Kingdom's far-flung regions. The significant temperature variation between 31 degrees Celsius in Mecca and 12 degrees Celsius in As-Soudah is attributed to the Kingdom's topography, where altitude and proximity to bodies of water directly influence temperature levels.
The role of meteorology in public safety
The National Center of Meteorology operates according to the latest international standards for monitoring weather changes, particularly during the fluctuations that may occur during some transitional seasons. These daily bulletins help relevant authorities and the public prepare for any dust storms or sudden temperature changes, thus enhancing public safety and reducing potential risks associated with weather conditions, especially for road users and farmers.
