These figures reflect the diverse geography of Saudi Arabia, highlighting the significant difference between coastal and low-lying areas like Mecca, which recorded the highest temperature (34°C), and high mountainous regions like As-Soudah, which recorded the lowest (18°C). This variation is a key characteristic of the Kingdom's continental climate, which is influenced by topography and proximity to bodies of water.
This data is an important indicator for citizens and residents to organize their daily activities, as knowing the temperatures contributes to taking the necessary precautions, whether with regard to choosing appropriate clothing or planning to travel via the land routes that connect these far-flung areas.
