The climate of Al Mukalla (Yemen)
Al Mukalla is a large town in the south-east of Yemen on the Gulf of
Aden. Al Mukalla lies in the Hadramaut region of which it is the
most important sea-port.
Just outside the town is Riyan airport. Al Mukalla has been an
important port for centuries, in former times the town was mainly
used as a transit port to India. In the town itself plenty of
examples can be found of the long history of the town.
Al Mukalla has a hot desert climate with few differences in
temperature over the year. The difference between the summer and the
winter period is rather small here although a little more
precipitation falls here in the summer period. The winter period is
agreeably warm there with average temperatures just a little below
thirty degrees in the daytime and it is bone-dry. Because it is very
dry here one has to reckon with sand- and dust storms.

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:
