Climate Extravaganza

Hey! Its Elise agian and I'm here to tell you about our adventure through the climates of the Middle East. The Middle East has few types of climates, but they are almost opposites of each other. Deserts such as the Rub al-Khali have dry and arid climates. We experienced this while we toured through this land of sand. However, at night temperatures drop severely. Who would've thought that a scorching hot afternoon could go to an almost freezing night?


As you travel to the ocean, you may experience a more tropical climate. Temperatures are slightly cooler than those of the deserts and they are more steady. When we arrived in the Middle East by plane we landed in a costal city. The weather there was beautiful!


Some places in the Middle East have a climate like Iowa's; these places tend to get hot summers followed by cool falls and cold winters, and then it's on to spring. These places experience all four seasons, while other regions may only see summer and spring all year round.


As you can tell, the Middle East is a diverse place from its people to its climate. I hope you learned a little more about this through this blog post, and thanks for stopping by!
