Answer 1

The climate in northern Arabia differs from the rest of the region in that it can be milder. While the majority of the Arabian Peninsula is categorized as dry (yellow), indicating arid conditions, the areas along the southern end that are marked in red represent tropical climates which can be warmer and more humid. Therefore, the northern regions can experience milder temperatures compared to the hotter tropical areas to the south.
