Jeddah | High humidity and a remarkably suffocating and disturbing atmosphere

Arab Weather - Residents of Jeddah are suffering these days from " suffocating and suffocating weather " due to high temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, coinciding with high humidity levels reaching 55%, which raises the perceived temperature to about 50 degrees Celsius, which makes the atmosphere generally unpleasant and increases the feeling of stress and fatigue, with expectations that this atmosphere will continue during the next two days.

High humidity in Jeddah during September is not surprising for the city of Jeddah and the Red Sea coasts, as this time of the year is known for its high humidity, as a result of the humid winds coming from the Red Sea, which exacerbates the condition of “suffocation”, which is a feeling of heaviness in the air and difficulty breathing.

With this atmosphere, it is necessary to adapt to this weather by reducing outdoor activities and using air conditioning extensively in homes and public places.
