      This is when the scorching UAE heat is likely to end

      Had enough of the scorching UAE heat? Well, we’ve got some good news for you.
      It appears the sweltering summer days are now numbered, according to a UAE astronomer.
      Ibrahim Al Jarwan, a prominent member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, took to Twitter to announce the Suhail star is on the horizon, which signifies an end to the sweltering UAE heat.
      He announced the UAE can expect to see the star appear around August 24, 2022.

      طلوع سهيل.. أهل الحساب والتقويم يأخذون بالطلوع الاصطلاحي أو الافتراضي..مع تلمس تغير الجو او تغيير الملامح الطبيعية. لكنه كنجم ، لا يشاهد أو يطلع وسط الجزيرة العربية قبل 24 أغسطس.#سهيل#موسم_سهيل#السنة_السهيلية#نجم_سهيل#النجم_سهيل#حساب_الدرور pic.twitter.com/9uQZY85nQt
      — إبراهيم الجروان (@ibrahimaljarwan) August 17, 2022

      The Suhail star is one of the brightest stars in the sky and is estimated to be 313 light-years away from Earth.
      During ancient times, Arabs would learn through to the stars when hot periods would come, when the rain would come and so on, which would help farmers, seasons for grazing and travel, fishing season and more.
      Given that temperatures recently peaked at 50 degrees celsius in some parts of the UAE, news that cooler weather is on the horizon will be welcomed with open arms.

      Temperatures to approach 50°C in the UAE – when is the cooler weather coming?

      As the scorching heat in the UAE continues, temperatures in some parts of the country are set to approach 50 degrees celsius.
      According to the UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), some parts of Abu Dhabi, including Gasyoura and Razeen, could reach up to 49°C today.
      Meanwhile, in other parts of the country temperatures are set to be around the 41°C mark.
      And while the sweltering heat continues to rage on, it begs the question: when exactly can we expect the cooler weather to come?
      There’s actually an ancient method the people of the Arabian peninsula have been using for centuries to decipher the weather, as well as timings, seasons and more – the stars.
      In relation to the sign summer is coming to an end, it’s dependent on when the Suhail star – the second brightest star in the sky, which is estimated to be 313 light-years away from Earth – is spotted.
      It may have felt like the sweltering summer heat has been never-ending this year, but there’s a tell-tale sign that’s appeared meaning that summer is officially drawing to a close.
      The Suhail star – one of the brightest stars in the sky, which is estimated to be 313 light-years away from Earth – has been spotted.
      Ibrahim Al Jarwan, a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, previously explained to the Khaleej Times Arabs would learn “through to the stars” when hot periods would come, when the rain would come and so on.
      “And by counting the stars, farmers and people in the villages knew when to plough their land, and when to sow in preparation for the rain,” he said. “People of the mainland got to know the seasons for grazing and travel, whereas those of the sea were able to know the fishing and travel seasons from the stars.”
      Generally, the Suhail star makes an appearance around late August, signalling cooler weather is on the horizon.
      So, hopefully, there’s not too long to wait for the very best weather to arrive in the UAE.
