Weather barriers while migrating to
Saudi Arabia
.
Saudi Arabia has a semiarid to hyper arid climate
characterized by very low rainfall and very high temperature,
resulting in water scarcity and reduced vegetal cover. This
country follows the desert climate. Increasing frequency of
extreme heat index days is particularly threatening regional
habitability in Jeddah. Due to high temperature in Saudi Arabia
skin burn, heat edema and heat stroke are common. Its high
temperature can also cause heat exhaustion- which can lead to
blurry vision, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Saudi Arabia is
particularly vulnerable to climate changes as most of the
ecosystems are sensitive and its renewable water resources are
limited.
