Dubai: As Saudi Arabia's meteorological summer draws to a close, autumn is set to begin on September 1, bringing with it a transitional period characterized by shifting weather patterns and a gradual decrease in temperatures, according to the National Centre for Meteorology (NCM). Despite this seasonal change, September remains the fourth-hottest month of the year in terms of average temperatures, according to NCM climate data.
Hussain Al Qahtani, a spokesperson for the NCM, shared these insights on X. The meteorological shift marks the transition from the intense summer heat to the more moderate conditions anticipated in the months ahead, with temperatures and weather patterns changing gradually rather than abruptly. While the end of summer is forecast to bring relief from the heat, parts of the Kingdom will continue to experience high temperatures.
The NCM predicts that maximum temperatures will remain elevated in certain areas of the Eastern Province and Riyadh, while thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds may develop in regions of Jazan, Asir, and Al Baha. Additionally, dust- and sand-stirring winds are expected across multiple parts of the country, including the Eastern Province, Riyadh, Najran, the Northern Borders, Hail, Qassim, Medina, and Mecca.
These unsettled conditions underscore the evolving weather patterns as Saudi Arabia transitions from its meteorological summer towards autumn.
