About Riyadh weather

Riyadh is in Saudi Arabia at 24.69°, 46.72°. Right now it’s 34° and clear; today’s high is 34° with a 0% chance of rain.

Saudi Arabia's vast desert landscape creates one of the hottest and driest climates on Earth. The Rub' al Khali (Empty Quarter) in the south is the world's largest contiguous sand desert, where summer temperatures can exceed 50°C in the shade and rainfall may not occur for years. The country's interior experiences extreme temperature swings, with winter nights in the northern deserts occasionally dropping to freezing despite daytime warmth.
