Increased daylight hours begin Sunday

The Al-Ajeeri Scientific Center has announced that the second phase of the “Kena” season will begin tomorrow, Sunday, May 12, 2024. This phase is characterized by the appearance of the “Shadow Palace” and an increase in daylight hours.

The “Shadow Palace” is a phenomenon that occurs during the Kena season when the sun casts a shadow that is shorter than its actual length. Daylight hours will exceed 13.5 hours during this phase.

The “Shartaneen” period, as this phase is also known, is characterized by an increase in the movement of northerly winds, often carrying dust and sand. During the Shartaneen period, daytime temperatures are expected to be high, making it difficult to spend time outdoors.

This phase lasts for 13 days and is followed by the “Battin” period, marking the end of the rainy season and the beginning of rising temperatures.
