Weather-wise, the winter season, October to February, marks the tourist peak-season in Jeddah. The climate of Jeddah is overall hot and dry which is why many people prefer to travel during the cooler months. On an average November day, the temperature is 24 °C. The mild and balanced weather makes sightseeing and outdoor tourism easier. Jeddah is also crowded during the month of Ramadan and on the occasion of Hajj.
From June to August (the low-season), prices may drop to an extent. During the summer season, fewer people may be seen travelling to the hot desert climate of Jeddah. When the temperatures skyrocket (45 to 50 °C), outdoor activities and travelling becomes difficult. This is the time when airlines and hotels quote discounted prices and cheap holiday packages.
