Iam growing in Jubail, temperature in summer 40 plus with no rain breaks, in winter it is like Karachi
Karachi climate suits them I believe and if Jubail climate is like Karachi then they well with you, in the photos your Orchid also look healthy

Orchids are best in tropical areas , but Jubail is not one of these, so we provide artificial temp control indoors, yes the orchid is growing bigger , i need a bigger pot for it now, for me it is very care free plant and i recommend everyone to try atleast one time this magnificiant Plant.

Might as well apply a foliar spray of orchid fertilizer as they seem to be in a growth stage
