A 40-day hot season dubbed “Marbaniat Al Qaid” will begin in the Gulf on Monday and this means the fasting month of Ramadan will be scorching this year, a prominent Saudi astronomer was reported on Sunday as saying.
Khaled al Zuaq said Monday would be the start of “the real hot weather” in the Arabian Peninsula and it will be followed by even a hotter period called “Jumrat Al Qaid”.
“This means Ramadan will start in Jumrat al Qaid, when the summer hot season is at its peak,” he told the Saudi Arabic language daily Sabq.
“Forecasts based on the movement of winds and ocean currents, clouds and evaporation rates confirm that we will witness a very hot and exhausting summer this year and this will coincide with Ramadan.”
