According to Ibrahim Al-Jarwan, a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, this period is characterised by intensive heat and hot, dry winds. Arabs call this period “Waghrat Al Qait’’, a term that refers to intense heat waves with severe droughts.
During Waghrat heat waves, temperatures rise by at least four degrees above normal levels. Droughts and Simoom — regional hot and dry winds — are also more severe during this time.
These heat waves will stretch from June 7 to September 5 and are known to Arabs by different names.
