Weather in Jeddah

The heat in Jeddah can definitely be unbearable, but most expats live in apartments or compounds fully exquipped with air-conditioning. All the big malls (the highlight of Jeddah social life) also have air conditioning. The humidity can be stifling and the best thing to do is to beef up your wardrobe with light, linen based suits (if working in a professional environment) and cotton clothing in general.

During a heat wave, the humidity can be so oppressive you can't venture outdoors; so be prepared to experience a different kind of cabin fever, and learn how to open car doors and man steering wheels with pot holders.
