Yemen lies in the tropic zone Average temperature Climatograph of Yemen ranges in between 20 to 35oC Maximum rainfall received is during winters at 2 cm. Yemen Biome: Arabian Desert Yemen has a mixture of biomes, ranging from dry desert to Mediterranean climate near the shores and cold mountainous vegetation on mountain tops. Qaat cultivation Qaat was uprooted by Mumineen under the guidance of Saydna Mufaddal Saifuddin (T.U.S.) because it is haram. The mastication of khat gives instant euphoria however it is dangerous drug abuse which also leads to loss of appetite. Coffee plants were planted instead. These shrubs are evergreen and are a major cash crop of Yemen. Yemen Climate – Culture Climate influences the culture of a place Climate – Yemen Yamen is a country a largely flat desert along the coastline although is a different situation in the west and eastern highlands of Yamen with variation in climate and geography affecting the fauna and flora. However, the overall climate of Yemen is cool, moderately dry on winter which sometimes drops below 0 degree. The average temperature is about 25 to 37°C and the average annual rainfall is only 127 millimetres. There are two main seasons in Yemen, hot humid summers with little to no rainfall and cold winter with direct sunrays and around 20 mm of rainfall. Overall the temperatures are more pleasant in Yemen than other Arab countries due to high elevation the culture of Yemen has an ancient history influenced by Islam due to its unique geographical location. Yemen has acquired a very distinct culture from its neighbors historically and culturally. The country is blessed with varied vegetation, regions making it look green and delightfully with breathtaking views for the spectators. Climate – Clothes Yemenis are very conservative there are proud of their traditions but inquisitive and very welcoming. In al Hutaib al mubarak and Sanaa it is very cold, yet, the sun Ray's are very direct. We always see mumineen wearing an uqaal (jhabba) or scarf with a unique red and orange pattern, which is usually draping on their backs or covering their heads. This protects them from the cold winds and direct sunrays. The cotton jhabba keeps the heat off them and the shawl helps them stay warm at night. This is typical Arabic culture clothes, you will find people wearing the same type of clothes in the middle east, like: Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. In winters Dishdashas worn by men in Yemen. Colourful and made of wool, are great to wear in cold weather. They also wear a turban to protect their hair and keep it clean. But now it is a way we identify Yemenis with it. Climate – Qaat The geographical and climatical condition, suits for the growth of qat, which is abundantly found in Yemen. Qat is not a Yemeni plant and was introduced from Ethiopia. It is one of the main cash crop of the country. Consumed by almost 90% of the population, it has become part of their culture and tradition. Yemenis gather in a majlis and masticate qat for hours and hours & do nothing, and what little money they earn, put into qaat and not into their children’s education. Coffee was the main trade in Haraaz, but it is said that, for every coffee farm in Yemen, there are 7 qat farms which have destroyed farming options. By uprooting qat, Moula tus has removed the haram from Yemeni soil and brought back the halal means of earning money for mumineen by cultivating coffee. Climate – Festivals One of the seasonal festivals of Yemen is Sanaa's summer festival this month-long celebration includes a carnival, fashion shows and more. The focus of the festival is the handicrafts and industrial items of the country with the crafts made by women of particular interest. This is a very colourful festival. Sanaa is very cloudy and warm in the summer. The colours add some brightness to the grey mundane-mountain colours. Each year on August 10, Mukalla City holds a well-known and popular event Al-Baldah Tourist Festival. The festival is named after a star that is seen each year on this date. It is said that when the star appears, the sea becomes exceptionally cold. Because of the weather there the sea gets cold and now it's their culture to celebrate every year. Climate – Food The climate in Yemen does not allow many plants to grow there. Hence, the Yemenis rely on essential crops, cereals such as millet, corn (maize), wheat, barley, and sorghum. Some of these needs little water to grow wherever other crops requiring a lot of water are grown near a pond or river. Climate and religion both influence their diet, which is primarily inclined more towards the lavish non vegetarian style. They prefer less spicy and more of boiled and seasonal meet along with rice and a lot of salads. The two main cash crops in the northern highlands are coffee and khat. Coffee grows very well in Yemen because of the high elevation and dry weather. It is said, “the higher you grow coffee the higher the quality.” Because of its abundance, it has paved its way as a routine beverage of choice in their daily life as well as in Yemeni festivals social gatherings. Yemen is also famous for its qahwa, the drink that keeps them warm in the cold.
