Weather of Arabia - The month of April is the fourth month in the Gregorian-Roman solar calendar (GREGORRIAN CALENDER), known in the Arab East as (Nissan), and in the Arabian Gulf, Yemen and the Nile Valley (April).

The name of this month is derived from the Latin word (Aperire) and in the Maghreb it is called (Avril).

The term (Nissan - Nissan) was taken from the Levantine Aramaic-Syriac calendar, and the Syriac word "Nissan" in the Arabic language means starting, moving, or initiating a matter or thing, and it means the appearance of plants, grass, and the greenness of the land.

This month was the beginning of the religious year for the Babylonians, and the number of days in the month of April is (30) days.

Among the most famous events for the month of April:

  • Nowruz : It is the beginning of the Persian year in Iran
  • The "Sham El-Nessim" feast in Egypt, where the Egyptians celebrate by going out for a walk and eating salted fish (fesikh) and onions in particular. This custom was taken from the Coptic heritage.

The most famous oral proverbs circulating in the Arab East about the month of April

  • April rain revives the earth and man
  • The winter of April revives people
  • April rain is equal to a railroad, an acre, a cluck, and a chick
  • Nissan Al-Sabil... I fell it by calming the mountain
  • Between Scorpio and Al-Nisani, lift your cover above me

Mrs. Fayrouz excelled in singing this month through her wonderful song "He called and asked me if April knocked on the door."
