The beginning of the `daughter-in-law` season.. one of the rainy seasons in Saudi Arabia and the boundary between summer and heat

Weather of Arabia - The weather researcher, founding member of the climate "nomenclature" committee, Abdulaziz Al-Hussaini, said; The "penthouse" season begins today, Saturday, and continues until June 6, 2023, during which the stars of the Pleiades disappear from view due to the sun's glare from the west.

Al-Hussaini explained that the “penthouse” season is a dividing line between summer, which expresses the acceptable heat, and the heat, which expresses the severity of the heat. As it is considered one of the rainy seasons in the Kingdom, and it is a period characterized by rapid weather fluctuations of “dust and rain” and the like, and in it is the last of spring; Where the day continues to increase, the night decreases, and the vegetation cover gradually recedes, and the trees’ need for water increases.

And he continued, saying, through his Twitter account: "The Pleiades is a star cluster, of which only six stars are visible to the naked eye, and the seventh star is difficult to see except for those who have the power of sight. Can you see the seventh star from the Pleiades?"

And he added: “The Phantom of the Thuraya” is one of the well-known seasons of the year among the Arabs, and it is considered an extension of the season of fans or Sarayas, called among the ancients, the summer rains, and it is originally spring rains known for abundance and strong and slow-moving thunderstorms, sometimes leading to flowing valleys preceded by stormy winds that raise dust.

And he indicated that this period is known as a transitional phase that takes us gradually from the spring to the summer season. It is God’s grace upon us that the cold does not come all at once, just as the heat does not come all at once, but rather gradually; So that humans, animals and plants are not affected, this period gradually takes us from spring to summer with the arrangement of the Mighty, the Wise.

The reason for calling the daughter-in-law season by this name

The altar season is called by this name in relation to the hidden, precious, hidden thing, in which the stars of the Pleiades disappear when they enter the scope of the glowing sun, and at that time the harvest season begins, birds migrate, and weather phenomena change.

The Arabs infer the kennel season through some of its indicators and signs, such as the yellowing of the bellies of the hyenas, their exit from the burrows, the exit of snakes and the dung bug.
