Weather of Arabia - An almost non-existent shadow during the noon period in the capital, Riyadh, these days, this is what the climate professor at Al-Qassim University tweeted "formerly", Vice President of the Weather and Climate Society, Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad.

And Dr. Al-Misnad said in a tweet to him via Twitter that today the sun reaches its maximum height at noon at 88.8 degrees, which means that it will be almost perpendicular to the objects, so the shadow will become in a state of almost non-existence, and this situation will continue until June 24.

Lapse and risks of heat stress and sunstroke

The noon period is the period during which the sun begins to tilt from the east to the west, and if it is a little declining to the west, then the noon time begins and the noon time begins.

At this time, the sun is almost perpendicular to the human head, and thus the risks of sunstroke and heat exhaustion increase during this period, which is the same period in which workers are prohibited from working under direct sunlight, so it is advised not to stay under the sun for long periods.
