The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued its detailed daily report on Wednesday regarding the maximum temperatures recorded in various cities and provinces across the Kingdom. This statement comes as part of the ongoing and meticulous monitoring of weather conditions, with figures showing a significant variation in temperatures between coastal, central, and mountainous regions, reflecting the Kingdom's diverse geography.
The importance of weather monitoring and climate diversity in the Kingdom
The reports of the National Center for Meteorology are of paramount importance both locally and regionally, as Saudi Arabia is a vast country with diverse terrain, creating multiple climatic patterns simultaneously. While coastal areas such as Dammam and Jeddah experience moderate to warm temperatures accompanied by varying humidity levels, the northern regions and southern highlands record significantly lower temperatures.
This climatic variation plays a pivotal role in guiding the daily activities of citizens and residents, from planning travel and commuting on highways to agricultural, economic and tourism activities, especially with the Kingdom’s focus on promoting the domestic tourism sector, which is heavily dependent on weather conditions.
