Week 10: Extreme Weather in Saudi Arabia

 The weather that Saudi Arabia faces is mostly hot weather with it being so close to the equator and the Climate itself supports this but near the more northern part of Saudi Arabia it can snow during the winter months. This snow is not severe in anyway. Due to this place having a dry arid climate the nights can get fairly cold, so people tend to go out more during the sunset time when it is not too hot and not too cold. Though this map does not show that there are also lightning strikes the Saudi Arabia faces near the southwestern part of the country.

the high humidity that this region in Saudi Arabia faces with the heat is a perfect melting pot for thunderstorms and lighting strikes as you can see by all the countries that are located in the hottest part of the world which lies on the equator
