52-day pre-winter season begins in Saudi Arabia
Bangla Press Desk: The Kingdom has entered the 52-day pre-winter transitional season, marking the shift between fall and winter as temperatures drop and rainfall chances rise, a change welcomed by residents, farmers and off-road enthusiasts.
Abdullah Al-Musa, a researcher in the agricultural calendar in the Asir region, said the season begins on Oct. 16 each year and consists of two lunar phases, each lasting 26 days, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
He added that signs of the season’s arrival include the passage of migratory birds across the Arabian Peninsula, honey harvesting and the eastward shift of clouds due to the western jet stream.
The period brings mild daytime weather, cool evenings and the formation of rainy cumulus clouds, making it ideal for farming and outdoor trips. It also helps revitalize wildlife and stimulate the natural ecological cycle across much of the Kingdom.
