How is the weather like in Saudi Arabia?

Answer 1

Saudi Arabia is a large country with diverse topography, which means that the weather is not the same everywhere. In most of Saudi Arabia the days are extremely hot during the summer with temperatures rising up to 50 C. During this time sandstorms are prevalent and can at times reduce visibility considerably. in the coastal cities the humidity is very high towards the end of summer. The autumn and spring months, that is October - November and March - April are particularly pleasant with warm mild days and comfortable evenings.

In both the north and south of Saudi Arabia where the areas are mountainous and green, it is much cooler and snowfalls are common in winter in the northern cities.

Saudis often like to escape the summer heat and take refuge in the cities which are located in the mountains.
