Rain in Qurayyat: What You Need to Know
Qurayyat sits near the Jordanian border in Al Jowf province, historically significant as a border crossing point and trade town along routes connecting Saudi Arabia to the Levant. Sakaka and the wider Al Jowf region sit on a desert plateau in Saudi Arabia's far north, just north of the An Nafud desert, with a subtropical desert climate and average annual rainfall of only 7-50mm depending on the source and year measured.
Rain here is driven by the same weak Mediterranean and North African winter disturbances affecting the northern desert belt, but Al Jowf's more northerly position and the historic Wadi Sirhan depression running through the province give it a distinct character from Tabuk or Arar. Al Jowf is cold enough in winter to occasionally see snow -- in a rare event, the region was covered in snow alongside heavy rain and hail for what was reportedly the first time in recorded history, whitening the terrain around Sakaka and Dumat Al-Jandal.
