The climate of Sanaa (Yemen)
Sanaa (Sana’a) is the capital of Yemen, a country n the south-west of the Arabian peninsula. Sanaa has a long history, in which, before in the third century AD a town was founded, there was probably question of ancient settlements of which up to the present no remnants have been found. Since the end of the eighties the old town centre of Sanaa has been part of the Unesco World Heritage. The architecture inside the historic part is very characteristic with buildings several story's high and with flat roofs, erected completely with Arab style elements.
The climate of Sanaa can best be described as a warm steppe climate, because the amounts of precipitation are higher here than in many other parts of the country. Sanaa has hot summers in which extreme heat does not occur very often, and warm dry winters, in which the temperature at night does drop close to freezing point.

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:

	chance of (very) hot weather	chance of (very) cool weather	chance of long-term precipitation	chance of hurricanes (cyclones)	chance of sunny days	UV-index
