<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Weather of Arabia - First, let us get to know the nature of the Red Sea, as the Red Sea occupies part of the Great Rift Valley, and its area is about 450,000 square kilometers. Its length is about 1,900 kilometers, and at its widest point, its width is approximately 1,300 kilometers. The Red Sea is characterized by many characteristics. High temperatures are not found in other seas. It is very warm and its water temperatures reach more than 30 degrees Celsius. It is also characterized by high evaporation, which is what makes its waters very salty.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It also has strange circulation patterns due to its narrow borders and limited connection with the ocean, and because it is exposed to fluctuating seasonal winds. The Red Sea is one of the few places on Earth that has eastern border water currents flowing toward the pole, while all other eastern border currents on Earth move from the hemisphere. North towards south.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> As for the impact of the Red Sea on the climate of Saudi Arabia, it contributes significantly to the increase in instability affecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the increase in humidity levels in the atmospheric layers, which contributes greatly to the building of thunderclouds that accompany instability.</p>
