The role of the National Center for Meteorology and the importance of weather monitoring
This daily report is part of the ongoing efforts of the National Center for Meteorology to monitor weather and climate conditions in the Kingdom. The Center is the official body authorized to issue weather forecasts and early warnings, relying on a wide network of advanced radars and monitoring stations distributed throughout the country, in addition to modern satellite technologies.
This data is of paramount importance not only to citizens and residents for organizing their daily lives and outdoor activities, but also extends to vital sectors such as civil aviation, agriculture, and maritime navigation. Accurate monitoring of temperature, humidity levels, and wind speed helps in taking necessary precautions and avoiding potential risks resulting from weather fluctuations.
Climate diversity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The figures recorded today reflect the diverse geography of Saudi Arabia. While coastal areas like Jeddah and Dammam experience mild to warm temperatures with varying humidity levels, inland and central regions such as Riyadh have a drier climate. In contrast, the southwestern regions and mountainous areas like Abha, Al-Baha, and As-Soudah enjoy cool and pleasant weather, even at midday, making them popular tourist destinations.
It is always advisable to follow official weather forecasts regularly, especially during periods of seasonal change, to ensure public safety and to be prepared for any sudden changes in weather conditions.
