The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued its detailed daily report on the weather conditions in the Kingdom , revealing significant variations in temperatures and weather phenomena across different regions. This report is part of the Center's ongoing monitoring and precise automated surveillance efforts to ensure the safety of citizens and residents and to provide essential information to vital sectors.
Summary of temperatures in major cities
According to official data released on Saturday, the Eastern and Central regions are experiencing relatively mild weather, with Dammam recording a high of 23 degrees Celsius and the capital, Riyadh, 27 degrees Celsius. In contrast, temperatures continue to rise in the Western region, with Mecca recording 31 degrees Celsius and Medina 29 degrees Celsius, reflecting the diverse geographical climate of the Kingdom.
Geographical and climatic context
Saudi Arabia's vast geographical area results in a wide variety of climatic patterns. While coastal areas like Jeddah and Dammam experience high relative humidity and maritime influences, the central regions have a drier, continental climate. The southwestern highlands (such as Asir and Al-Baha) are characterized by their mountainous terrain, making them prone to the formation of cumulonimbus clouds, a fact confirmed by the report's rainfall forecasts for these areas.
Expected weather phenomena and safety alerts
The weather report indicated active surface winds stirring up dust and sand in the Riyadh and Eastern regions, which may reduce horizontal visibility. Drivers on highways should exercise caution. Meanwhile, there is a chance of thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds in the highlands of Asir, Al-Baha, and Makkah, highlighting the importance of monitoring current weather forecasts.
