KUWAIT CITY, Aug 7:  The Al-Ajari Scientific Center has announced that summer is entering its final phase with the onset of the "Kalebeen" season starting August 11. This period, lasting 13 days, marks the last stretch of extreme heat before cooler weather begins.

According to a press release from the center, the "Kalebeen" season represents the transition between the peak of summer’s high temperatures and the approach of the star Suhail, which signals a shift in weather patterns. Despite the intense heat, humidity levels rise during this time, contributing to a gradual decline in temperatures.

The center highlighted that during "Kalebeen," the usual strong southerly and southeasterly winds, known locally as "Al-Sumum" or “the poisons,” tend to calm down, allowing the earth’s interior to cool. As the season concludes, the weather becomes more moderate and daytime temperatures begin to fall.

Astronomically, “Kalebeen” refers to two stars located at the end of the Canis Major constellation. The season is also marked by a noticeable increase in nighttime hours at the expense of daylight.

Residents are advised to prepare for the last phase of summer heat, while anticipating the gradual arrival of cooler conditions signaled by the Suhail star.
