Field notes
Hot desert (Arabian) — among the most extreme summer temperatures of any major city on this list. July and August average 37°C with peaks routinely above 50°C and dust storms a structural feature. Winters (December–February, 13–15°C average) are pleasant by comparison, with rare cold snaps producing rare frost. Spring (March–April) and autumn (October–November) are the cleanest shoulder windows. Rainfall is concentrated in November–March short bursts and is sparse overall (under 110mm annually). Air quality drops noticeably during dust events.
