Thuraya Season Begins Thursday As Temperatures Rise

Adel Al-Saadoun, an astronomer, has said that the Thuraya season will begin tomorrow, Thursday, coinciding with the start of summer, a season marked by high temperatures.

KUNA quotes Saadoun as saying that Al-Thuraya has three phases of the moon, with each stage lasting thirteen days.

During the third stage (the Pleiades), he mentioned, the rising of the star of the Pleiades begins on the 7th of next June until the 19th of the same month.

Several stars are located in Aries and Taurus for the first two phases, and the Pleiades star is located in Taurus for the third phase.

The average midday temperature during the Thuraya season is around 38 to 41 degrees Celsius, while the lowest recorded temperature ranges between 24 to 30 degrees Celsius.

He described the country as being characterized by northwesterly winds of moderate speeds, which occasionally grow to over 40 kilometers per hour, creating dust storms known as Al-Bareh Al-Saghir winds.
