Climate professor at Qassim University, Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad, announced that Jumrat al-Qaydh begins on Thursday, July 16, and represents the first day of the Manzilat al-Hana'a, the fourth lunar mansion of the summer season, and lasts for 13 days.

Al-Misnad explained via platform X that this period is considered the peak of summer climatologically, as temperatures reach their highest levels, coinciding with a noticeable rise in humidity rates in coastal areas, and it is classified among the hottest and driest periods of the year.

He pointed out that the Jumrat al-Qaydh season coincides with the abundance of date palm offshoots, advising increased irrigation of crops to mitigate the effects of high heat, noting that the subsoil begins to cool gradually by the end of this period.

Al-Misnad called on business owners to take care of workers performing tasks in open sites under direct sunlight, stressing the importance of providing shaded areas and drinking water continuously to reduce the risks of heat stress during these days.
