Climatic and geographical diversity in the Kingdom

These figures reflect the diverse geography of Saudi Arabia, a vast, almost subcontinental country. While coastal cities like Jazan, Al Qunfudhah, and Jeddah experience warmer temperatures, reaching around 30 degrees Celsius due to the influence of the Red Sea and relative humidity, northern regions such as Tarif, Arar, and Qurayyat see significantly lower temperatures, reaching as low as 13 degrees Celsius in Tarif. This is typical for these areas, which are affected by air masses coming from the north.

In contrast, the southwestern highlands, such as Al-Soudah, Abha, and Al-Baha, are characterized by relatively cool weather compared to the rest of the regions. Al-Soudah recorded the lowest maximum temperature on the list at 11 degrees Celsius, making it a distinctive tourist destination even during times of weather fluctuations, due to its towering mountainous nature.

The importance of following weather reports

The role of the National Center of Meteorology is pivotal in maintaining public safety and regulating daily activities. These reports are of paramount importance not only to citizens and residents in determining appropriate clothing and avoiding colds resulting from weather fluctuations, but also extend to vital sectors such as agriculture, air and sea navigation, and traffic on highways connecting cities, especially given the possibility of accompanying weather phenomena such as fog or strong winds.

The relevant authorities always call for following official bulletins through approved channels to ensure access to accurate and up-to-date information, which contributes to raising the level of preventive awareness in society and avoiding rumors related to the weather.
