According to the Saudi Gazette, the National Center for Meteorology (NCM) has issued a forecast indicating that Saudi Arabia will experience above-average temperatures throughout the month of August. As the final month of the summer season, the Kingdom is expected to see persistent heat conditions across the majority of its regions.
NCM spokesperson Hussein Al-Qahtani stated that climate models point toward sustained high temperatures, with rainfall levels anticipated to remain below seasonal averages in several key areas, including Jazan, Al-Baha, Tabuk, Madinah, Makkah, Asir, Najran, and the Eastern Province. In other parts of the country, precipitation is expected to remain near typical seasonal levels.
In addition to the temperature outlook, the NCM has warned of increased wind speeds across most regions. These conditions are expected to elevate the risk of dust and sand being stirred up in exposed areas. The center has urged the public to remain vigilant, monitor official weather advisories, and adhere to safety guidance provided by meteorological authorities as the summer heat continues.
The report is an official weather forecast issued by the Saudi National Center for Meteorology (NCM), which serves as the primary authority for such data in the Kingdom. As an official government-linked announcement, it carries high reliability.
