The climate of Taif (Saudi Arabia)
Taif is a large city located in the western part of Saudi Arabia in the province of Mecca in the vicinity of Mecca. Taif is located at the foot of the Al Sarawat mountain range. The city is known for its mild climate and is also known as the summer capital. The climate is very mild and cool even by Saudi standards. Many people spend their summer here. Just outside the city rock paintings can be found as well as an old Turkish fortress. Despite its mild climate Taif still has a desert climate with warm to hot summers and warm winters with cool nights. Taif gets more precipitation than other places in Saudi Arabia. However, precipitation figures are still low. Summers are warm. Daytime temperatures are about 33 degrees Celsius which is much milder than in other places in Saudi Arabia. Winters are pleasant with temperatures just above 20 degrees Celsius. Nights may be quite cold. However, subzero temperatures are uncommon.

Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
