The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia announced details of the expected weather conditions for today, Saturday, revealing a noticeable difference in temperatures between the various regions of the Kingdom, with the capital, Riyadh, recording 32 degrees Celsius, while Dammam and Medina are close to it at 31 degrees, while Mecca reaches 34 degrees Celsius as one of the highest rates recorded for this day.
The importance of weather reports and climate diversity in the Kingdom
The National Center for Meteorology's reports are of paramount importance in the daily lives of citizens and residents, especially given the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's vast geographical diversity. The Kingdom spans an immense area encompassing a wide range of terrains, from humid coastlines to arid deserts and cold mountain highlands. This diversity creates multiple climatic patterns simultaneously, making it essential to follow weather forecasts for planning road trips, outdoor activities, and ensuring public safety on highways that may be affected by weather conditions such as dust or fog.
Weather phenomena and their expected effects
The report indicated surface wind activity stirring up dust and sand in parts of the Riyadh and Eastern regions, which may reduce horizontal visibility, necessitating caution from drivers. Conversely, the southwestern highlands, including Abha, Al-Baha, and Taif, are expected to experience light rain, creating pleasant weather in these tourist areas. The center also warned of fog formation along parts of the coast, particularly in Al-Qunfudhah, requiring extra vigilance during the early morning hours.
Temperature details in Saudi cities
The governorate of Tarif and the Al-Soudah region recorded the lowest minimum temperatures at 8 degrees Celsius, reflecting the significant temperature difference between the north and south of the Kingdom and between its central and western regions.
