Daytime temperatures tend to range from the high teens to low twenties Celsius, while evenings can be rather cold, particularly in the deserts. Mornings are colder up in the North, think Tabuk and AlUla, so layering is the key. Stay warm in pleasant coastal cities like Jeddah, where the temperatures are perfect for an outdoor adventure, a mix of desert hiking and seaside strolling.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rainfall is rare, but possible showers, mainly in Riyadh and the centre of the country, might happen. The air feels fresh and clean, without the heaviness of summer humidity, letting you enjoy the outdoor activities.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #0ca6cc;\"><b>Average Temperatures Across Major Cities in January 2026<\/b><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7771dc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c7771dc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c22289 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5c22289\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saudivisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/average-temperatures-across-major-cities-in-january.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2932\" alt=\"Saudi cities ranked by average daily temperature from Abha to Jeddah\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saudivisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/average-temperatures-across-major-cities-in-january.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.saudivisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/average-temperatures-across-major-cities-in-january-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.saudivisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/average-temperatures-across-major-cities-in-january-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.saudivisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/average-temperatures-across-major-cities-in-january-150x94.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-441df16 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"441df16\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b0b429 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b0b429\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Riyadh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Highs of 18\u00b0C (64\u00b0F) during the day, falling to 8\u00b0C (46\u00b0F) at night.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Jeddah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A very pleasant 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F) on the coast by day, 15\u00b0C (59\u00b0F) at night.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Dammam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Typical 20\u00b0C (day) and 10\u00b0C (night).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Madinah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Days are with 22\u00b0C (72\u00b0F), with nights approaching 12\u00b0C (54\u00b0F).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Makkah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Warm at 27\u00b0C (81\u00b0F) in the day and 17\u00b0C (63\u00b0F) at night.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Abha<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cooler with 15\u00b0C (59\u00b0F) in the day and 7\u00b0C (45\u00b0F) at night.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tabuk<\/b><span>: Chilly with 12\u00b0C (54\u00b0F) days and 3\u00b0C (37\u00b0F) nights.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5229e09 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5229e09\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28bdcfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28bdcfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"color: #0ca6cc;\">Best Places to Visit in January 2026<\/span><\/h2><h3><span style=\"color: #0ca6cc;\">\u2638<\/span> AlUla: Ancient Wonders in a Winter Glow<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover sandstone cliffs, Nabatean tombs, and Hegra\u2019s Unesco-listed sites.
