The climate of Buraydah (Saudi Arabia)
Buraydah is located in the province of Al Qasim of which it also is
the capital. Buraydah is an oasis on the banks of the Wadi Al Rummah.
Oranges and lemons have been cultivated in this oasis since time
immemorial. The latest technology now makes it possible to cultivate
different wheat types as well. Nowadays the city is the largest and
most important grain supplier of the country. Buraydah has its own
airport and can also be reached by several highways. Buraydah has a
desert climate with hot summers and warm winters. Precipitation
figures are low all year round. The presence of the Wadi Al Rummah
prevents the oasis from drying up. During the summer it is very hot
with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. During the hottest part of
the day you’d best seek cooling under a palm tree or in a hotel with
air conditioning. Winters are warm. However, it may be cool during the
night. Subzero temperatures are uncommon.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
