KUWAIT CITY, March 6, (Agencies): The Al-Ojeiri Scientific Center has announced that the cold winter season will come to an end starting Saturday, giving way to more moderate weather, and the emergence of the first signs of spring on plants, reports Al-Seyassah daily. In a statement, the center explained that this atmospheric shift signals the arrival of the Hameem season, which follows the Scorpion season and precedes the “Dhiraan” season. This transitional period is expected to last until April 2. Hameem season is one of the annual seasons known for its significant weather fluctuations, often causing atmospheric instability marked by shifts between cold and heat, rain, and dust. This period sees a blending of spring and winter, with occasional dust storms and scattered rainfall. This season also witnesses a gradual rise in temperatures, accompanied by thunderstorms and cumulus clouds. Hameem season is divided into two parts: the first and second Hameem.

The transition between the two is marked by the equality of day and night, which coincides with the spring equinox on March 20 this year. This phenomenon occurs when the sun is perpendicular to the equator, causing day and night to be equal in length. Two main factors control the length of day and night: the angle of the sun’s tilt relative to the equator and geographical latitude. This equality occurs globally when the sun is directly overhead at the equator. The further from the equator, the more noticeable the variation in day and night length. With the onset of the Hameem season, the sun enters the summer season. Meanwhile, the acting director of Kuwait Meteorological Department, Dherar Al-Ali, said on Thursday that rainfalls would continue until Saturday morning, along with active southeasterly winds exceeding 60 km/h. These winds will cause dust waves and lower visibility in some regions, Al-Ali said, affirming that the weather would begin to clear up by Saturday noon. Friday’s weather is expected to be largely identical with dusty conditions. The temperature is forecast at 21-12 degrees. It will be warm on Saturday as the heat will be 24-22 degrees during day time and drop to 11 degrees at night.
