The climate of Yanbu (Saudi Arabia)
Yanbu’ al Bahr or Yanbu for short is a medium-sized port located in
the western part of Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea. Yanbu is located in
the province of Mecca. Yanbu is an important transshipment port for
crude oil which is supplied to the port via three pipe lines. Outside
the port several well preserved coral reefs can be found that are very
popular among divers. Yanbu has its own airport and can also be
reached by several highways. All of this makes Yanbu economically very
important for Saudi Arabia. Yanbu has a desert climate with warm to
hot summers and warm winters. The city is very dry, during the largest
part of the year hardly any rain falls. Summers are extremely warm
with daytime temperatures just below 40 degrees Celsius on average.
During the warmest part of the year night time temperatures are around
25 degrees Celsius. Because of the influence of the Red Sea winters
are very pleasant, especially nights are much more pleasant than in
other parts of the country.

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:
