Temperatures in Saudi Arabia: A drop to 7 degrees Celsius and weather details
The National Center for Meteorology issued its detailed daily report on the expected weather conditions, revealing a noticeable variation in temperatures in Saudi Arabia between different regions, with the weather ranging between relative warmth in the holy areas and noticeable cold in the highlands and northern regions.
Details of temperatures and weather phenomena
The center explained in its statement that maximum temperatures reached 34 degrees Celsius in Mecca, followed by Riyadh at 32 degrees, and Medina at 31 degrees. Conversely, the lowest temperatures were recorded, dropping significantly to only 7 degrees Celsius in both Tarif and Al-Soudah, reflecting the Kingdom's considerable climatic diversity due to its vast geographical area and varied terrain.
Geographical diversity and its impact on climate
This report underscores the Kingdom's geographical characteristics, where the northern regions and southern highlands (such as As-Soudah) are affected by different air masses, resulting in significantly lower temperatures compared to the coastal and central regions. This data is essential for citizens and residents to plan their daily activities, especially during weekends, when many people enjoy outings to the desert or travel between cities.
Weather phenomena: Fog and strong winds
The report included not only temperature readings but also warnings of significant weather phenomena. The center indicated the formation of fog that could reduce horizontal visibility during the early morning and night hours in areas such as Dammam, Jazan, Taif, Al-Qunfudhah, and Hafr Al-Batin. The report also warned of surface wind activity that could stir up dust and sand in the Tabuk, Arar, Sakaka, and Al-Ula regions, urging caution for those using highways.
