Abstract

We analyzed the impact of the Red Sea on the climatic features of Tabukand Yanbuin the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and used various comfort indices to determine the most suitable climatic conditions for these cities. We found that there is a clear difference between Tabuk and Yanbu with respect to the length of their comfort periods.Tabuk experiences cold periods throughout the year, with the temperature reaching the freezing point. Further, there are periods of climatic variability in Yanbu whereinthe temperaturefluctuates between hot and very cold. Furthermore, there are several periods of thermal discomfort in Tabuk and Yanbu, especially during the winter and summer.
