The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia released its daily report on maximum temperatures recorded across the Kingdom's various regions and cities for Wednesday. Official data showed significant variations in weather conditions, with Dammam recording 25 degrees Celsius, while Mecca and Jeddah topped the list with temperatures reaching 33 degrees Celsius.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology in climate monitoring
This detailed statement comes as part of the vital and ongoing role of the National Center of Meteorology in providing accurate and up-to-date information on weather and climate conditions in the Kingdom. These reports rely on a wide and sophisticated network of weather stations and modern radars deployed throughout the country, contributing to enhanced public safety and assisting citizens, residents, and government agencies in planning their daily activities and making informed decisions based on precise data.
Geographical diversity and its impact on temperatures
Looking at the figures recorded today, the great climatic diversity that characterizes the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is clearly evident, due to its vast geographical area and varied terrain. While the coastal and western regions experience relatively warm temperatures, such as Jazan and Yanbu, which recorded 30 degrees Celsius, the northern regions and mountainous highlands experience cooler and more moderate temperatures.
Northern regions such as Tarif and Al Qurayyat recorded temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius, while the Al Sawda region in the southern highlands recorded the lowest maximum temperature on the list at 16 degrees Celsius, reflecting the mountainous nature of those regions and their exposure to different air masses, which makes them preferred destinations for those seeking cold weather.
