The importance of following the reports of the National Center for Meteorology
These daily reports are of paramount importance to citizens and residents of the Kingdom, as the National Center for Meteorology, through its advanced radar network and monitoring stations spread throughout the country, provides an accurate picture of the weather. This data helps relevant authorities manage traffic, alert farmers, and assist individuals in planning their daily activities and travel between cities, especially given the weather fluctuations that some areas may experience, such as strong winds or sudden changes in temperature.
Climate diversity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The figures recorded today reflect the diverse geography of the Kingdom. While coastal areas such as Jeddah, Jazan, and Dammam enjoy warm temperatures and relative humidity, northern regions and southern highlands like Abha and Al-Soudah experience significantly lower temperatures. This climatic variation makes the Kingdom a distinctive winter tourist destination, with visitors flocking to warmer or temperate areas to enjoy the outdoors, while residents of colder regions take precautions against seasonal colds.
