Al-Ahsa's summer heat factors
The reasons for the high temperatures in Al-Ahsa are attributed to several geographical and climatic factors; it is located about 60 kilometers from the Arabian Gulf coast, which diminishes the natural cooling effect of water bodies. The area is also exposed to strong, dry "Bawarih" winds that prevent moist breezes from reaching it. Additionally, a thermal low-pressure zone forms over the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali), drawing in hot desert air masses. These factors contribute to Al-Ahsa being one of the hottest regions in Saudi Arabia during summer, with temperatures sometimes exceeding those in other areas.
