Analytical reading of the weather situation
Based on the recorded figures, coastal areas such as Jeddah, Jazan, and Al-Qunfudhah continue to enjoy moderate temperatures, tending towards warmth at night. Jazan recorded the highest minimum temperature at 24 degrees Celsius, thanks to maritime influences and humidity levels that prevent rapid heat loss. In contrast, the northern regions and highlands experienced a sharp drop in temperature, with Tarif and Al-Qurayyat reaching 7 degrees Celsius, while As-Sawda recorded the lowest temperature at 6 degrees Celsius. Residents of these areas are advised to take precautions and wear appropriate winter clothing.
These data indicate the natural climatic progression in the Kingdom, with the northern regions and highlands receiving cold air masses more quickly than the central and eastern regions. Citizens and residents are advised to follow the daily updates from the National Center of Meteorology, especially given the possibility of fog formation in areas experiencing a significant drop in temperatures and a rise in surface humidity, to ensure road safety on highways.
