The climate of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia)
Jeddah is a large city located in the western part of Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea. Jeddah is located in the West province which is also known as the province of Mecca. Jeddah is the largest city in this province, is the largest port on the Red Sea and one of the largest ports of the country. According to several sources the tomb of Eve can be found in Jeddah. However, we will probably never know for sure because the tomb was sealed with concrete in the 1970s to prevent worship. Because Jeddah is situated on the route to Mecca and Medina millions of people make a stop-over here every year to travel further to one of these sacred cities. The city has something with heights, the largest fountain in the world, the fountain of King Fadh can be found here. This fountain can squirt water up to 312 meters. There are also plans to construct the highest skyscraper, this skyscraper should be higher than 1,000 meters. Jeddah has a desert climate only slightly influenced by the Red Sea. Summers are extremely hot and dry. During the warmest days of summer temperatures will be around 40 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature on record is 47 degrees Celsius. Winters are much more pleasant. However, winters are still warm with an average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature on record is 9 degrees Celsius. Precipitation figures are low all year round. The rain that does fall mainly falls during the winter. Dust- and sandstorms may occur all year round.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
