Analysis of thermal and geographical variation
The figures recorded today reflect the great geographical diversity of Saudi Arabia, which directly influences its climate. While holy and coastal areas such as Mecca and Jeddah recorded relatively warm temperatures (above 30 degrees Celsius), a noticeable drop was observed in the northern and highland regions. As-Soudah recorded the lowest maximum temperature at 15 degrees Celsius, followed by Tarif at 16 degrees, highlighting the nature of the mountainous and northern regions, which are more susceptible to cold air masses than other areas.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology and the importance of data
The National Center for Meteorology is the official body authorized to monitor weather and climate in the Kingdom. This daily data is of paramount importance not only to citizens and residents for planning their daily lives and outdoor activities, but also to vital sectors such as air and sea navigation, agriculture, and the management of events and tourism seasons. The Center relies on a sophisticated network of radars and monitoring stations, precisely distributed to cover the Kingdom's vast area, ensuring accurate forecasts and early warnings in cases of weather fluctuations.
