The National Center for Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued its daily weather forecast for Saturday across the Kingdom's cities and regions. The report indicated a significant variation in temperatures and weather patterns, with the capital, Riyadh, recording 32 degrees Celsius, Dammam 31 degrees, and Mecca reaching 34 degrees Celsius, reflecting the wide climatic diversity characteristic of the Kingdom's geography.
Weather details and atmospheric phenomena
According to the weather forecast, some areas are expected to experience surface winds that will stir up dust and sand, potentially reducing horizontal visibility, particularly in Riyadh, Dammam, Hail, and Sakaka. Light rain is also expected over the highlands of Asir and Jazan, including the cities of Abha, Al-Baha, and Taif. Meanwhile, northern regions such as Tarif and Al-Soudah are expected to record low temperatures as low as 8 degrees Celsius, making them among the coldest areas in the Kingdom today.
The importance of following weather reports
The National Center for Meteorology, established as part of Saudi Vision 2030 initiatives to enhance the protection of the environment, lives, and property, plays a vital role in providing accurate and reliable information to citizens, residents, and the public and private sectors. These daily reports help individuals plan their daily activities and support vital sectors such as air and sea transport, agriculture, and construction project management in taking the necessary preventative measures to address any potential weather fluctuations.
Climate diversity in the Kingdom and its impact
Saudi Arabia is characterized by its vast size and diverse topography, ranging from the humid coasts of the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf to the arid deserts of the interior and the cold mountain highlands of the southwest. This diversity is directly reflected in the weather, where it can be hot and humid in Jeddah and Dammam, dry and mild in Riyadh, and cold and rainy in Abha, all on the same day. Understanding this climatic diversity is essential for adapting to local conditions and utilizing natural resources sustainably.
