The climate of Aden (Yemen)
Aden is a port in the south-west of Yemen on the Gulf of Aden. Aden is
one of the largest ports of Yemen and therefore it is very important
for the Yemen economy. Because Aden is a port it has an eventful
history. Because of its position on the former trade routes the town
has been occupied several times throughout the centuries by
countries that wanted to control these routes. Nowadays Aden is
becoming more and more popular with tourists also because of the
splendid beaches the town has.
Also due to low precipitation figures Aden has a hot desert climate
with no large differences in temperature between the seasons. The
summers there are hot with temperatures easily climbing up to 40
degrees centigrade. The winter months are less hot but still
reasonably warm with temperatures of, on an average, just a little
below 30 degrees centigrade. Rainfall is an exception here and
therefore one has to reckon with dust and sandstorms.

More climate information
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:
