Headaches, colds set to rise as Kuwait ushers in Sarayat

KUWAIT CITY, March 31: Al- Ojeiri Scientific Center confirmed that Kuwait is approaching the Sarayat season, specifically the Al- Dhar’an season, which begins with Al-Muqaddam on April 3, 2026, and lasts for 13 days, reports Al- Seyassah daily. In a press statement, the center explained that Al-Muqaddam is characterized by higher-than-usual temperatures and coincides with the planting and harvesting of rice, wheat, and barley. The season is also associated with the spread of headaches, colds, and dust storms.

The center noted that this season is characterized by high temperatures and continued instability, known as the Sarayat phenomenon, during which the sun is at a high angle and a cool breeze blows at night. It affirmed that the Al-Dhar’an season coincides with the spring migration of geese, and is marked by active winds of varying speed and direction, making them difficult to predict, along with fluctuations in weather and temperature. The center indicated that the Al- Dhar’an season lasts for 26 days and is divided into two periods.
