Well, looking at simple latitudes, I can draw this information: It is 30 degrees between the median desert region and the northern area of the south ocean. It is 45 degrees between the median desert region and the southern pole. It is 45 degrees between the median desert region and the equator.
Off simple latitudes, I can tell you that the amount of sunlight available to the Himyar desert is lower, therefore the nighttime temperatures would go lower than the Sahara. However, there are tropical winds from the ocean to the north; this would probably mean the Himyar desert has a longer wet season. Furthermore, the 30 degrees between median desert region and south ocean is about roughly equivalent to (assuming Earth sizes) 3,300 km. Correct me if I'm wrong, people, but some simple mathhammer shows that the southern ocean would not affect the deserts on Himyar's climate as much as the northern ocean and sunlight would, because it's damn hard for a climate 3,300 km away to influence another.
As for the climate of the south; jungle plants can't grow where sun doesn't shine most of the year. Simple. You have a winter that significantly decreases the length of the day and plants stop doing jungle stuff. Unless we want to moderate that Europe sits closer to the Sun than Earth and therefore gets more sunlight, but the Sun is cooler so Earth isn't burned up, or unless the northern hemisphere wants to sacrifice themselves to be in abysmal cold to allow jungles for black people. There's simply no way that it could be possible given the latitudes and assuming size, tilt, rotation, and orbit are the same as Earth; not if you want to stick with some realism.
For practicalities sake wouldn't it be smarter to associate the climate off Southern Himyar with that off South America, referring to the desert to the north as something more akin to Great Victorian Desert, rather than a sub-Saharan Africa? Besides, I know we all like to racistly assume black people run naked through the jungle, but really; why not have black people living in savannah/semi-arid country, like Zulu's or North Africans or Ethiopia or all the other African cultures white people marginally care about.
If people are going to argue where the jungle on Himyar should be, then they should realize that the warm water currents of the ocean to the north of Himyar would probably be creating quite a few tropical storms which would have turned northern Himyar into a Brazilian jungle, and southern Himyar into either a Russian tundra or a Patagonian desert. Himyar isn't a copypasta of Saudi Arabia and Sub Saharan Africa, it really shouldn't be treated like it.
