Riyadh weather and your pet
Riyadh has a dry desert climate: summer highs regularly reach the mid-40s ยฐC, while winter nights can be cool. Dust storms can arrive quickly. Outdoor time in summer belongs to early morning and late evening, and pets need constant access to water and shade.
Villas and compounds are common in Riyadh, alongside apartment buildings in central districts. For sitting and boarding, share compound gate access, parking and any rules on pets in shared areas.
Keep your pet's vaccination records up to date and follow your compound's or building's rules on pets.
