Rain in Abu Arish: What You Need to Know
Abu Arish is an agricultural town in the Jazan region, known historically for its role in the area's coffee and qat cultivation on the terraced highland slopes nearby. Jazan sits on the Tihama coastal plain in Saudi Arabia's far southwest, with a tropical, monsoon-influenced climate that makes it one of the wettest and most humid parts of the country.
Rain is driven by the same southwest monsoon system that affects Yemen and the Horn of Africa, delivering rainfall patterns closer to tropical East Africa than to the rest of arid Saudi Arabia. The flat, low-lying Tihama plain combined with runoff from the adjacent Asir escarpment means Jazan is exposed to both direct coastal rainfall and flash flooding from mountain wadis draining toward the sea.
