Maximum temperatures in Saudi Arabia today: Dammam 21 and Mecca 31
The National Center for Meteorology issued its daily report on weather conditions and climate updates in Saudi Arabia, revealing a significant variation in maximum temperatures recorded today, Thursday, across different regions and cities of the Kingdom. Dammam recorded 21 degrees Celsius, while Mecca topped the list with 31 degrees Celsius, reflecting the country's considerable geographical and climatic diversity.
Climate diversity in the Kingdom and its impact
Saudi Arabia's vast size results in a wide variety of climatic patterns. While coastal areas like Jeddah and Jazan experience warmer, more humid temperatures, with highs reaching 30 degrees Celsius, the northern regions and mountainous areas experience significantly lower temperatures. This variation is due to geographical factors, as altitude and proximity to bodies of water directly influence temperature readings.
In a related context, the importance of these daily reports issued by the National Center for Meteorology is highlighted in helping citizens and residents plan their daily activities, whether in terms of choosing appropriate clothing or planning to travel by road, especially in light of the weather fluctuations that some regions may experience during seasonal transition periods.
