The Arabian Desert summers can be intensely hot reaching temperatures of 54'C in places and winters are not really that cold, they reach temperatures of -12'C. The skies are usually clear except for some winter rains which are not steady or continuous, spring hazes, or dust storms. The two graphs above and below are climate graphs of the temperatures of Riyadh, which is a city near the middle of the Arabian Desert. |
