Geographical diversity and its impact on climate
The table above reflects the great diversity of the Kingdom's terrain and its direct impact on the climate. While northern regions like Tarif and Qurayyat experience very low temperatures, dropping as low as 1°C, and fog forms, coastal areas such as Jazan and Jeddah maintain more moderate and relatively higher temperatures. In contrast, the mountainous regions of Asir, Al-Baha, and Taif experience heavy rainfall and high humidity levels, reaching up to 100%, making them distinctive tourist destinations, but requiring caution while driving due to fog and water accumulation.
Monitoring these climate changes and understanding the nature of temperatures in the Kingdom helps residents and visitors to properly plan their activities, whether they are land trips, agricultural activities, or even outdoor events, which confirms the pivotal role that weather reports play in daily life.
