Weather of Arabia - The Arabian Gulf region is recording high temperatures these days, reaching about 50 degrees Celsius in light of a global heat wave, but the situation is completely different in the Saudi town of “Souda” .

Moderate temperatures in Al-Soudah, Saudi Arabia

According to the temperature forecast bulletin issued by the Arab Weather Center in Saudi Arabia today, Thursday, the minimum temperature in the mountainous town of Al-Souda in the southwest of the country will drop to 17 degrees Celsius. Last Tuesday, the minimum temperature was recorded at 14 degrees Celsius, and even during daylight hours, the maximum temperature in the town, which belongs to the Asir region, does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius on most days, making it the coldest inhabited point in the vast kingdom.

The town of Al-Souda is located near the city of Abha, the famous summer tourist destination in the Kingdom. The geographical location of all the cities, towns and villages of the Asir region overlooking the Red Sea gives it a moderate climate characterized by mountains, forests and valleys.

Temperatures reflect these large differences between the regions of the Kingdom, as the city of Dammam in the far east of the country recorded 48 degrees Celsius last Tuesday, making it one of the hottest cities in the world.

The climatic differences between Al-Souda and Dammam are not limited to temperatures only, as meteorological forecasts indicate heavy rainfall in Al-Souda, while Dammam will witness active winds in an area surrounded by desert sand.

Saudi Arabia, which recently began receiving tourists, seeks to take advantage of its diverse climate to build an active tourism sector throughout the year, by establishing large tourism projects that include transportation, accommodation, catering, and entertainment services.
