Arab Weather - In a remote corner of the South Atlantic Ocean, where the boundaries of civilization end and the world of isolation begins, lies the island of Tristan da Cunha, known as the most remote inhabited place on planet Earth.

The island's population does not exceed 250 people, who live a simple and peaceful life in this remote corner of the world, relying on fishing and agriculture to meet their daily needs.

The population relies on potato cultivation and some livestock, in addition to lobster fishing, which is their main source of income and forms part of a lifestyle imposed on them by their geographical isolation and harsh climate.

Rugged volcanic nature... between the mountains and the ocean

Tristan da Cunha is not just a small island. It is an extinct volcano, topped by Mount Queen Mary, which rises over 2,000 meters. Surrounded by steep cliffs and rugged terrain, it is a real challenge to navigate.

Despite its small size and isolation, the island is home to unique nature reserves and is a safe haven for many endangered seabirds and marine creatures, giving it global environmental status.

Cold and humid weather these days of the year

Meteorologists at the Arab Weather Center said the island's climate is currently experiencing a cold, wintry climate, with low temperatures often ranging between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, accompanied by high humidity levels, which increases the feeling of chill.

The island's sky is covered with low clouds almost daily, with intermittent showers of rain.

What makes Tristan da Cunha unique is its complete isolation from the rest of the world, as it is approximately 2,400 kilometers from the nearest inhabited island, and can only be reached by sea, a journey that takes many days.

The island has a cool oceanic climate, with active westerly winds most of the time, bringing with them occasional foggy and rainy conditions.
