Sulţānah's Climate
Sulţānah lies in western Saudi Arabia, part of the Medina urban area on an arid inland plateau set back from the Red Sea, giving it a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) with near-constant clear skies. Summers (May–September) are scorching and extremely dry, with daytime highs usually 38–44°C, occasionally topping 45°C, and warm nights. Winters (December–February) are far gentler, around 20–25°C by day, though nights can fall to 8–12°C. Rainfall is scarce and erratic, limited to a few brief showers in late winter and early spring, while dust storms and dry desert winds sometimes cut visibility.
