Taiz's Climate

Taiz lies in the highlands of southwest Yemen at roughly 1,400 m elevation, below Mount Sabir and set well back from the Red Sea, giving it a semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh) tempered by its altitude. Thanks to its height, it is far cooler than Yemen's hot coastal plains: daytime temperatures sit around 25–30°C for much of the year, with comfortably cool nights that can dip below 15°C in winter. Rain is light and seasonal, concentrating in two spells, spring (March–May) and late summer (July–August), when monsoon influence reaches the highlands; the rest of the year stays dry and sunny.
