The National Center for Meteorology announced in its daily report the details of the maximum temperatures recorded in various regions and governorates of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for today, Monday. The city of Dammam recorded 22 degrees Celsius, reflecting the moderate weather currently prevailing in the Eastern Province. This statement is part of the center's continuous and meticulous monitoring of weather conditions and its efforts to provide citizens and residents with accurate weather information.
Climatic and geographical diversity in the Kingdom
Data from the National Center for Meteorology reflects the great geographical and climatic diversity of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. While the coastal and central regions experience moderate temperatures tending towards warmth during the day, there is a noticeable drop in temperatures in the northern regions and the southern highlands. This variation is a key characteristic of the Kingdom's continental climate, where topography plays a pivotal role in determining temperatures. For example, As-Soudah recorded the lowest maximum temperature at 11 degrees Celsius due to its altitude, while Jazan and Al-Qunfudhah recorded the highest at 30 degrees Celsius.
