Rain in Sharma: What You Need to Know

Sharma is a small Red Sea coastal community in Tabuk province, near the NEOM development zone. Tabuk and the wider northern desert belt (including Al Jowf and Northern Borders provinces) have a classic hyper-arid desert climate, with average annual rainfall well under 100mm.

Rain here is driven by weak winter disturbances tracking in from the Mediterranean and North Africa, arriving as brief, scattered showers rather than the intense convective storms seen further south.
