What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
It'll get really hot and humid starting June and last till September. Winters are mild and you'll need a decent fleece for the coldest part of winter, which may last a few weeks from Dec to Jan. - Apr 2016
It's hot, it's Saudi Arabia. Unlike Riyadh, it is humid because you are so close to the Gulf. In the winter, the sandstorms can lower visibility. - Jul 2015
October through May the weather runs between 70-90F degrees, there can be some rainy days that dip into the 60'sF. June through September the weather is Hot, Hotter, and "OMG, I think I'm on fire" temperatures upwards of 120F degrees - Jun 2015

From November until about March it's great, dry for most of the time, not too cold, great during the day, requiring a light jacket sometimes at night. The rest of the year it's at least 100 degrees F. I'm told that from about July until October it's very humid (we are next to the Gulf). - Apr 2008
