Climate diversity and its impact on daily activities

The recorded figures reveal a significant difference between regions.

This variation plays a pivotal role in shaping tourism and agricultural activities in the Kingdom, as the cooler regions attract visitors seeking a more temperate climate, while the hot regions require different safety measures to cope with direct sunlight.

The role of the National Center for Meteorology in public safety

This daily report is part of the National Center of Meteorology's ongoing efforts to monitor weather phenomena and issue early warnings. This data is of paramount importance to citizens and residents, especially drivers on intercity highways, as advance knowledge of weather conditions and temperatures helps in planning safe travel and avoiding potential hazards resulting from sudden weather changes or fog that may accompany temperature fluctuations in some areas, such as the Eastern Province and the highlands.
