Jeddah's Red Sea coastal location produces typical August daily highs of 37–39°C through intense solar heating, low precipitation, and light winds, with humidity from the sea moderating peaks relative to inland sites. Current forecasts from sources like AccuWeather and timeanddate center on 38°C for August 20, 2026, under mostly clear skies, supporting the market's tight contest between 38°C (36%) and 39°C (45.5%) while keeping 40°C+ at just 13%. Minor model differences in wind speed or cloud cover could shift the exact maximum by 1°C, consistent with historical variability around the 38°C seasonal average. No major heat anomaly has emerged in recent days.
