Qatar’s Weather To Drop with The Appearance of Suhail Star on Thursday

The Suhail star is the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius. It is located in the constellation Carina, and it is visible in the night sky in the Arabian Peninsula during the summer months. The appearance of the Suhail star is traditionally seen as a sign of the end of the summer heat and the beginning of a more moderate climate.

Qatar's hot weather is expected to cool down after the star "Najm Suhail" reappears on Thursday, according to the Qatar News Agency (QNA).

The report, citing the Qatar Calendar House (QCH), predicted favorable weather conditions for Qatar and the rest of the Gulf region.

Dr. Bashir Marzouq, an astronomer at QCH, explained to the news agency that residents in Qatar can spot the star towards the southern horizon during the first week of next September. 

The brightest star in the night sky, Sirius, can guide skywatchers toward Suhail.

According to QNA, The Suhail star is a sign of the end of the hot season and the beginning of a more moderate climate in the Arabian Peninsula. It is also seen as the beginning of the gradual seasonal change, and the end of the "poisonous winds". The intensity of the night heat is expected to drop as the days get shorter.

The appearance of the star is also commonly accompanied by more chances of rain.
