Climate diversity and the importance of weather monitoring
This data demonstrates the vital role played by the National Center for Meteorology in accurately monitoring weather changes. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with its vast area, encompasses multiple climatic regions; northern areas such as Tarif and Al Qurayyat experience low temperatures (15-17 degrees Celsius) influenced by northern air masses, while western coastal areas such as Jeddah, Jazan, and Al Qunfudhah maintain warm to hot temperatures due to humidity and the influence of the Red Sea.
This temperature variation has direct effects on daily life and the economy. In areas with moderate temperatures, such as Riyadh and Dammam (around 20 degrees Celsius), there is an increase in outdoor activities and events, boosting domestic tourism. Conversely, the lower temperatures in the highlands (such as As-Soudah) and northern regions necessitate that residents and farmers take precautions to protect their crops from potential cold waves.
Citizens and residents are always advised to follow the official bulletins issued by the National Center of Meteorology, especially in light of the weather fluctuations that some areas may experience, such as active winds or sudden changes in temperatures, to ensure public safety and to plan their daily activities in accordance with the weather conditions.
