Météo à Taëf en novembre

Regulars comparing this month to peak summer are consistent that it's a far easier stretch for performing the rites, which involve real time outdoors and physical exertion regardless of the season. Our row backs a genuine cooling from summer's extremes, 31.8C over 20.9C nights, with 20.9mm of rain across 3.6 days - a small but real increase over the bone-dry summer months. Regulars note the heat is still present and worth respecting, with hydration and light clothing still the standard advice, just without the added danger of summer's much higher highs and warmer nights that don't cool down. The record: humidity 57 percent, 9.9 hours of sun, a 16.3 kph wind and AQI 86.

Forum posters visiting the Shafa Mountains resort area just outside Taif describe genuinely pleasant conditions around 25C in summer, one reviewer specifically surprised to encounter rain during what's normally thought of as the hot season - a real reflection of the resort's roughly 2500m elevation rather than Taif city itself, which sits considerably lower and runs noticeably hotter. Posters describe Taif proper as a traditional summer retreat precisely because it's cooler than lowland Mecca and Jeddah, known for its rose gardens and perfume industry. Posters note the Shafa area specifically gets very congested with visitors in summer given how sought-after its cooler air is. Posters generally rate August as warm in Taif city itself but genuinely cool and occasionally rainy up in the nearby Shafa Mountains, the elevation difference between the two a real factor worth understanding before planning a visit.

Forum posters consistently describe Taif as noticeably cooler than nearby Mecca and Jeddah thanks to its mountain elevation - around 25C is the typical figure cited, with winter (February included) named as a comfortable time to visit precisely because summer brings crowds escaping the heat of the lowlands. Posters do warn that direct sun inside a parked car can still get surprisingly hot even on a mild day, and that fog can roll in suddenly on the escarpment roads and cut visibility fast. Al Hada Mountain's cable car and the surrounding rose fields (Taif is nicknamed the City of Roses) are the most recommended stops, and February specifically is called a quieter time to visit versus the congested summer high season.
