An analytical reading of the weather situation and its impact
These figures reflect the nature of the climate in Saudi Arabia during this period of the year, where we observe a noticeable decrease in temperatures in the central and northern regions such as Riyadh, Hail and Tarif, which is a normal occurrence that requires residents to take the necessary precautions and wear appropriate winter clothing to avoid catching colds.
On the other hand, western coastal cities such as Jeddah, Jazan, and Al Qunfudhah maintain mild to warm temperatures, making them popular destinations for domestic tourism during this time of year. This climatic diversity is a comparative advantage for the Kingdom, allowing for a variety of agricultural, tourism, and economic activities.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology
