Weather forecast for the 4th of Ramadan in Saudi Arabia: Temperatures and meteorological warnings

The National Center for Meteorology issued its daily weather report for Saturday, the 4th of Ramadan, revealing significant variations in temperatures and weather patterns across the Kingdom. This report comes at a time when those fasting and other citizens are keen to monitor weather conditions to plan their travel and schedules during the holy month.

Details of temperatures and weather phenomena

The meteorological statement indicated that maximum temperatures will rise relatively in some areas, with Mecca and Yanbu recording 33 degrees Celsius, while Medina and Jeddah will reach 32 degrees Celsius. Conversely, higher elevations will experience a sharp drop in minimum temperatures, with the As-Soudah the lowest temperature in the Kingdom at only 2 degrees Celsius, necessitating caution for residents of these areas.

As for the capital Riyadh , a maximum temperature of 28 degrees Celsius is expected with clear skies, while the Eastern Province, specifically Dammam and Jubail, is experiencing high humidity and fog, with the maximum temperature in Dammam reaching 30 degrees Celsius.

Climate diversity and its impact on those fasting

Saudi Arabia is characterized by its wide geographical and climatic diversity, resulting in drastically different weather conditions from one region to another at the same time. While coastal areas such as Jeddah, Dammam, and Jazan experience high humidity and fog formation that can affect horizontal visibility, northern and inland regions such as Tabuk, Hail, and Al-Jawf face active surface winds that stir up dust and sand.

These weather forecasts become even more important during the holy month of Ramadan, as temperature and humidity levels directly affect the comfort of those fasting. Moderate weather in the central regions and southern highlands helps alleviate the hardship of fasting, while dust and sandstorms in the northern regions necessitate special precautions for those with respiratory conditions.

Traffic safety warnings

Due to the weather phenomena mentioned in the report, such as dense fog in coastal areas and dust storms in other areas, safety experts advise drivers to exercise extreme caution on highways, especially during the early morning or late night hours, and to maintain safe distances to avoid traffic accidents.
