Kumud is a tribal area in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.[1]

Kumud is almost totally mountainous. The weather is seasonal, although it is warm most of the year.The months from October to March are generally regarded as the coolest, with daytime temperatures averaging around 25 °C (77 °F) and rarely venturing above 30 °C (86 °F). The winter period also coincides with the rainy season. Rainfall is higher than the rest of the UAE because of the effect of the Hajar mountains and the easterly winds bringing with them water-laden clouds off the warm Gulf of Oman in the Indian Ocean. The temperatures climb above 40 °C (104 °F) degrees in the summer.
