When the temperature feels like it’s over 50 degrees outside (thanks humidity) it can be hard to imagine a time when this scorching weather subsides and we can finally venture outside without instantly melting.
Well, we have some good news. The extreme summer heat is supposed to ease off around August 24, well according to the Suhail star at least.
When this celestial phenomenon appears, it is usually a sign of a shift in the weather, and it can normally be seen until winter in the country.
“The visibility of the Suhail star coincides with mild weather as temperatures drop by a few degrees, accompanied with a high level of humidity and south-easterly winds, which tend to blow towards the Hajar Mountains in Oman and the east coast of the UAE,” Ibrahim Al Jarwan, member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, told
The sea temperatures will also start to drop around that time and certain birds also return to the region, like flamingos. We might also experience some adverse weather conditions like strong winds and thunderstorms.
“This period is accompanied with drizzle and strong winds, which reduces the humidity in the air, and activates a sort of a summer scents along the Hajar mountains. From Al Dhaid to Al Ain, residents will witness storms and strong winds, as well as heavy thunderstorms,” Al Jarwan added.
Storms or not, we are counting our lucky stars that the heat will start to ease off soon.
