The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia announced today, Wednesday, the maximum temperatures recorded in various regions and cities of the Kingdom. The data showed a noticeable variation in weather conditions between the coastal, central, northern, and mountainous regions. Dammam recorded 27 degrees Celsius, while Mecca topped the list with 32 degrees Celsius, reflecting the Kingdom's significant geographical and climatic diversity.
The role of the National Center for Meteorology and the importance of weather monitoring
This daily report is part of the National Center of Meteorology's ongoing efforts to monitor weather conditions with high accuracy, utilizing the latest satellite and advanced radar technologies. These reports are of paramount importance both locally and nationally, as citizens and residents rely on them to plan their daily activities and determine appropriate clothing, especially given the weather fluctuations that may occur during seasonal transitions.
On the economic and developmental front, temperature data plays a pivotal role in supporting vital sectors such as agriculture, transportation, tourism, and the management of events and entertainment seasons in the Kingdom. This information also contributes to enhancing road safety on highways connecting cities, as accurate weather and temperature forecasts enable relevant authorities and drivers to take necessary preventative measures.

An analytical reading of the climate and its impact
Looking at the recorded temperatures, we observe that northern regions such as Tarif and Al-Qurayyat, as well as highland areas like As-Sawda, experienced the lowest temperatures (between 15 and 17 degrees Celsius). This aligns with the geographical nature of these regions, which are more susceptible to cold air masses. In contrast, Makkah and southern and coastal areas such as Jazan and Al-Qunfudhah maintained temperatures in the thirties, confirming the continuation of warm weather in those regions.
The National Center of Meteorology calls on everyone to follow the daily reports through official platforms to ensure access to accurate and up-to-date information, which contributes to raising community awareness about the weather and its potential effects.
