KUWAIT CITY, Nov 4: The Al-Ujairi Scientific Center announced today, that Kuwait is set to experience an astronomical event known as "the sunset of the Al-Ahimar star" on the tenth of this month, lasting for a duration of 40 days.

In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the center explained that the absence of the "Ahimar" star marks the entry of cold northern winds, which ushers in a season known as the "Ahimer strike season." This season is closely linked to sea conditions, atmospheric turbulence, and instability.

During the absence of this star, recognized for its prominent red hue, significant size, and clarity in the year-round sky, winter's chill commences. Wind patterns shift, encompassing cold westerly and northerly winds, creating a noticeable impact, particularly in open areas.

The Al-Ujairi Scientific Center noted that the Al-Ahimar star will reappear on December 25, coinciding with a sea state characterized by eruptions and heightened wave activity, often accompanied by rain. This period serves as a transitional phase in which the weather shifts from moderate at the beginning to colder conditions toward the end, resulting in a drop in temperatures.

The cold experienced during this period is commonly referred to as "autumn cold." It is worth noting that the primary distinction between this season and the Sarayat season is that the former is shorter and less severe, devoid of unexpected weather changes.
