KUWAIT CITY, May 24: The Al-Ajari Scientific Center has announced that the Al-Batin season will begin tomorrow, Sunday. This marks the final phase of the Al-Kanna season and will last for 13 days. It is distinguished by shorter shadows on certain days, as the sun's rays fall almost directly overhead.

In a press release, the center explained that the appearance of the Al-Batin star is typically accompanied by strong northwesterly winds. These winds, along with rising temperatures from sunrise to sunset, often lead to the spread of dust and sand in the air.

During this period, daylight will extend beyond 13 hours and 47 minutes, with sunset occurring at 6:38 PM, resulting in shorter nights.

The center also noted that following the end of Al-Batin, the Thuraya (Pleiades) season will begin on June 7, 2025, signaling the true start of summer. The coming two weeks will be marked by dry conditions and a steady rise in temperatures.

It added that during the Pleiades period, temperatures are expected to climb significantly, reaching high levels in several parts of the country and across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
