For more than a year after I moved to Jeddah, I don’t recall it ever raining – not once. Then in February of this year, it actually rained – hard! For about a week, it rained for a short time almost every day. That was the rainy season. Summer temperatures often surpass 40 degrees Centigrade, which is over 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The average high temperature for the year is about 33 C, or 91 F, while the low average is about 22 C, or 72 F. I’ve yet to feel cold here!
About This Blog, and About Me: Susie of Arabia
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, is KSA's 2nd largest city and is located on its west coast, right on the Red Sea. I moved here in 2007 with my Saudi hubby. This journal reflects the things that I see here, life through my eyes, my lens.
Please be sure to also visit my other blog, SUSIE OF ARABIA (formerly SUSIE'S BIG ADVENTURE), which relates my experiences, thoughts, and observations about living in Saudi Arabia.

Same here in Riyadh – it doesn’t rain much but when it does it can be pretty torrential and the drainage system can’t cope!
As for feeling the cold… try coming to Riyadh in December/January, it does get quite cold here. The temperatures throughout the year range from 0 degrees C to over 50 degrees C!
I’ve heard that it gets pretty cold in Riyadh – how I wish it would here!!!
A lovely picture of wetness!
I can hardly wait for the autumn rain. Such a long hot summer this year.
Wow! What a rare and beautiful shot, Susie.
So when it rains it pours. It looks like a flood.
I felt the same way about South Florida.
Nice shot. I know how difficult night shots are and you are doing them from a moving car.
Great use of light and colour!
Although rain comes once in a blue moon, the consequences are indeed catastrophic partly because rain tends to be torrential and partly because the outdated sewage system can’t cope with it.
My days are almost over in the UK and I’ll soon be part of your pictures, so many years have passed since
Thanks alot Sussie, I really enjoy reading your diaries 🙂
