Tourist Attraction

During the six months from October to April the weather is pleasantly warm on most days and cool in the evenings. Between May and September it is hot and humid, and this is the best time for those who come to Jeddah to enjoy the sun and sea. On most days, throughout the year, the climate is tempered by cooling breezes that blow down from the northwest and waft in from the sea. It rarely rains in Jeddah, but when it does it comes as a tropical storm accompanied by spectacular displays of lightning and the city receives a torrential downpour, which sometimes floods the city but is usually welcomed with joy and thankfulness by Jeddah's residents.
