Scorching summer temperatures in large parts of the Kingdom

Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - The latest weather data indicates a clear intensification of the impact of the Arabian high pressure system on the region, particularly the eastern and central parts of Saudi Arabia. This means extremely hot weather conditions are expected, requiring attention to the risks of heat stress and sunstroke.

Hot weather in the Eastern Province, with temperatures reaching 48°C in Nuayriyah and Al-Ahsa.

Meteorologists at Arab Weather reported that the eastern parts of the Kingdom, especially the interior parts, will witness scorching temperatures over the next two days, which may touch 48 degrees Celsius in Al-Ahsa and Al-Nuairyah, while they will be lower in the coastal areas, reaching the early forties.

Extremely hot summer weather affects Riyadh

The capital, Riyadh, will not be far from the hot weather, as it is expected to witness a rise in temperatures to reach 45 degrees Celsius, with the dominance of northerly to northeasterly winds, which will increase the feeling of heat, especially during the afternoon and evening hours.
These weather conditions are the result of a hot, dry air mass dominating all layers of the atmosphere, which is expected to maintain this trend over the coming days.

A blazing heatwave in the western part of the Kingdom, including Mecca, Medina and the holy sites.

The heat is no less intense in the west, where pilgrims are located. Mecca and Medina are experiencing high temperatures approaching 45°C, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. These hot conditions are expected to continue to affect pilgrims and visitors in the coming days, with weather indicators remaining stable and no signs of a significant change in temperature in the near term.

No rain in the Kingdom's summer resorts, but stable weather continues

Meanwhile, the Kingdom's summer resorts, including Taif, Abha, Al-Baha, and the Asir Mountains, are experiencing a continued lack of rainfall. The weather is stable, sunny, and dry, with no significant activity of the usual summer cumulus clouds. This is due to the dominance of the upper air pressure system and the discontinuation of tropical humidity, which prevents the formation of cumulus clouds and rainfall.

Recommendations for dealing with hot weather

• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, especially from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Drink plenty of water and cold fluids to avoid dehydration.
• Wear light-colored, cotton clothing, and use umbrellas or protective hats in open areas.
• Take precautions, especially for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with heart and respiratory conditions.
