The Al-Ojeiri Scientific Center announced that the Marzam hot season is set to start from Monday and will continue for the next 13 days. This period marks the beginning of a new stage of the summer season and is significant in the Arab summer calendar.

Marzam is known as the fifth summer house for the Arabs and the sixth in the calendar of the houses of the sun and the moon. It precedes the season (Al-Kulaibain), which is typically the humidity season in Kuwait, and is followed by the season (Suhail).

During Marzam, often referred to as the period of the “ember of heat,” the temperature of the earth intensifies. This season is also notable for the readiness of dates for harvest. The length of the day extends to 13 hours and 36 minutes during Marzam.

Marzam is named after the star (Al-Marzam), which is distinguished by its extreme brightness. It is considered the brightest star in the sky, adding to the significance of this period.
