KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12, (KUNA): Kuwaiti meteorologist and historian Adel Al-Saadoun told KUNA Sunday his predictions indicate Eid Al-Fitr will fall on Sunday, Aug 19, with the Holy Month of Ramadan lasting a full 30 days this time around.

Al-Saadoun remarked that calculations at Al-Fintas observatory suggest it would be impossible to see the new crescent in any part of the Muslim World on Friday. It will be possible to discern the crescent on Saturday, but in Saudi Arabia and countries other than Kuwait, due to specifics of position and time of setting of the sun.

Well-known Kuwaiti astronomer Saleh Al-Ujairi later Sunday also made the same prediction and said Eid Al-Fitr will fall on Sunday.
