Residents of Jeddah are bracing for unsettled weather on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, with thunderstorms, blowing dust and high humidity expected to affect the city as part of wider weather conditions across the region.
The forecast for Jeddah shows a daytime high of 36°C and an overnight low of 29°C, accompanied by thunderstorms and reduced visibility due to blowing dust. Humidity levels are expected to climb to as high as 80%, adding to the discomfort during the day.
Current conditions in the city stand at around 37°C with humidity near 40%, reflecting the heavy, muggy feel many residents have noticed in recent days.
Why it matters
Thunderstorms are forecast to continue across several Saudi regions, not just Jeddah, which means motorists and families should plan ahead. Blowing dust can sharply reduce visibility on roads, while sudden rainfall may lead to water pooling in low-lying areas.
Residents are advised to drive carefully, keep an eye on changing conditions, and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rain or dust. Those with respiratory sensitivities may also want to limit time outdoors while humidity and dust remain high.
