National Center for Meteorology

The National Center for Meteorology is a research facility in Jeddah that collects and analyzes weather data and atmospheric conditions from across Saudi Arabia. The center operates an extensive network of monitoring stations throughout the country to gather information about temperature, precipitation, and other weather patterns.

The facility was created in 2019 following a government reform that consolidated earlier weather authorities. This restructuring centralized meteorological research and monitoring under a new organization.

The center helps people in the region understand local weather conditions and plan their daily activities more effectively. It serves as a place where scientific work connects directly to the practical needs of residents in an arid climate.

The facility is located in a modern building in Jeddah and is accessible on weekdays to view meteorological data and weather forecasts. Visitors should know that most technical equipment is reserved for specialized staff, but public information is available.

The facility conducts cloud seeding operations to create more rainfall in the country's dry regions. This technology is one of the most advanced methods for increasing precipitation in arid areas.
