Arab Weather - With the sunset of Saturday, March 29, 2025, various Arab and Islamic countries, including Jordan, will observe the Shawwal crescent to determine the beginning of Eid al-Fitr. According to the Jordanian Astronomical Society, although astronomical calculations confirm that the crescent has been born and will be above the horizon after sunset on Saturday, March 29, in most of the Islamic world, it will be "impossible" to see it with the naked eye or with telescopes in Jordan and the Islamic world.

What will the weather conditions be like in the Kingdom during the Shawwal crescent sighting period?

God willing, with the sunset on Saturday and during the Eid crescent sighting period, the weather conditions are expected to be less than ideal for sighting, as the sky will be covered with clouds at various altitudes, especially high and medium clouds, across various regions of the Kingdom, in addition to the western horizon. In addition, a percentage of suspended dust is expected to be present in the atmosphere along with the clouds, which will negatively affect sighting the crescent.

And God knows best.
