Arab Weather - The CEO of the Arab Weather Center, Muhammad Al-Shaker, stated in a statement via the Nabdh Al-Balad program that the sighting of the crescent moon in many Arab countries will be on Wednesday, and it will be astronomically impossible to see the crescent moon since the new month’s crescent will not yet be formed, and the moon will set before the sun.

 

He added that the Kingdom will be affected on Wednesday evening and Wednesday/Thursday night by a state of atmospheric instability, with thunderstorms expected, especially in the late night hours.

 

He pointed out that on Thursday – the day of observation in Jordan – the Kingdom will be affected by humid sea currents coming from the Mediterranean Sea, which will lead to continued rainfall during the daytime hours, with the expectation that the atmosphere will be partly cloudy to cloudy in most areas on the western horizon during the observation of the crescent, except for the Wadi Rum area where the atmosphere will be clear or with few clouds, and therefore there is a possibility of observation from Wadi Rum and the far south of the Kingdom.
