Temperatures in Saudi Arabia: Al-Ahsa 31°C and heavy rain in Jeddah

The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia announced today, Sunday, details of the expected weather conditions and maximum and minimum temperatures across the Kingdom's cities and provinces. This statement comes as part of the Center's daily monitoring of weather fluctuations, particularly during the current transitional phase, characterized by significant temperature variations between different regions and widespread thunderstorms.

The role of the National Center for Meteorology and the importance of weather monitoring

The National Center for Meteorology is the official body authorized to issue weather forecasts and early warnings in Saudi Arabia. These reports are of paramount importance not only to individuals for planning their daily lives, but also to government and service agencies. Through a sophisticated network of radars and monitoring stations, the center analyzes climate data to provide an accurate picture of weather conditions, contributing to increased public safety, particularly on highways and between cities that may be affected by reduced visibility due to fog or heavy rainfall.

Temperature analysis: Al-Ahsa and Sharurah are in the lead

According to the data released, Al-Ahsa Governorate recorded high temperatures of 31 degrees Celsius, placing it among the cities experiencing relatively hot weather, rivaling Sharurah Governorate, which recorded 32 degrees Celsius. In contrast, the data reveals a significant variation in temperatures, with the capital, Riyadh, recording 26 degrees Celsius, while Mecca maintained a moderate daytime temperature of 27 degrees. This variation reflects the diverse geographical nature of the Kingdom, where coastal areas are affected by different humidity levels than inland and desert regions.

Weather phenomena: Heavy rain and important warnings

The report included not only temperature readings but also warnings of significant weather phenomena. The center indicated forecasts of heavy rainfall in several vital areas, most notably Medina, Jeddah, Buraidah, and Hail. This type of rainfall typically necessitates caution from citizens and residents. These forecasts are usually accompanied by instructions from the Saudi Civil Defense to stay away from valleys and floodplains, and to avoid low-lying areas during rainfall to ensure public safety.
