Climatic and geographical diversity in the Kingdom
This report reflects the great geographical and climatic diversity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While coastal areas such as Dammam and Jeddah record temperatures in the thirties, often accompanied by varying humidity levels, higher-altitude areas such as Al-Soudah and Abha enjoy relatively mild to cool weather, with Al-Soudah recording only 17 degrees Celsius, making it a preferred tourist destination.
In contrast, the interior desert regions, such as the Al-Dahna and Al-Saman deserts, as well as the Holy Capital, maintain temperatures that tend to be high (34 degrees Celsius), which is normal and consistent with the geographical nature of these regions.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology and the importance of daily monitoring
These daily reports are of paramount importance to citizens and residents, as the National Center of Meteorology, through its network of advanced stations and modern monitoring technologies, provides an accurate picture of the weather. This information helps individuals plan their daily activities and exercise caution while traveling on highways connecting cities, especially given the weather fluctuations that some areas may experience.
The center works continuously to update weather data to ensure the safety of lives and property, and to support vital sectors such as agriculture, transportation and tourism with accurate data on climate changes throughout the Kingdom.
