Geographical diversity and its impact on climate
These figures reflect the great geographical diversity of Saudi Arabia, which directly affects its climate. While coastal areas such as Jeddah, Dammam, and Jazan experience moderate temperatures tending towards warmth with high humidity, mountainous and highland regions such as Abha, Al-Baha, and As-Soudah record noticeably lower temperatures (reaching 17 degrees Celsius in As-Soudah), making them preferred tourist destinations for those seeking cooler weather and stunning natural scenery.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology
The National Center for Meteorology is the official body authorized to monitor weather and climate in the Kingdom. Its reports are of paramount importance in the daily lives of citizens and residents, as vital sectors such as aviation, agriculture, and transportation rely on them. Furthermore, these reports are crucial for planning outdoor activities and exercising caution while driving on highways, especially in foggy or unstable weather conditions.
The importance of following weather forecasts
Experts always recommend checking weather forecasts regularly, especially during seasonal transitions when temperatures fluctuate. Knowing the maximum and minimum temperatures helps in choosing appropriate clothing, avoiding direct sun exposure during peak hours in hot regions, and preparing for cold spells in northern and mountainous areas.
