In addition to the temperatures, the National Center for Meteorology indicated in its weather report for today that the chances of thunderstorms accompanied by hail and active winds stirring up dust and sand will continue in parts of the Makkah region. The forecast also extends to include the formation of rain-bearing thunderclouds accompanied by active winds over the highlands of the Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha regions, necessitating caution while driving on mountain roads.
The center also warned of the possibility of fog forming during the early morning and late night hours in parts of the Eastern Province (where Dammam recorded 29 degrees), in addition to the northern parts of the Kingdom, which may lead to a decrease in horizontal visibility.
Climatic and geographical diversity in the Kingdom
This report reflects the great geographical diversity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which directly influences the local climate of each region. While coastal areas such as Jeddah, Dammam, and Jazan experience moderate to high temperatures and relative humidity, the southwestern highlands, such as Abha and Al-Baha, enjoy cool and mild weather, even at midday, making them distinctive tourist destinations. In contrast, northern regions such as Arar and Sakaka experience a gradual decrease in temperatures as the colder seasons approach.
The importance of following weather forecasts
These reports are of paramount importance not only to individuals for planning their daily activities and choosing appropriate clothing, but also to vital sectors such as agriculture, transportation, and maritime and aviation. Early warnings about fog and rain help relevant authorities take the necessary measures to ensure road safety and reduce traffic accidents caused by weather fluctuations.
