What is the tag and when does it start for the year 2024/1446?

Arab Weather - The rainy season known as Al-Wasm begins in mid-October and continues until mid-December, lasting for 52 days. It is called this name because it "marks" the land with greenery and plants. If the rains and bounties continue during this period, it is followed by a prosperous spring and the appearance of truffles.

The Arabs also call the Wasm “the howling of the cold,” as it brings with it the beginning of the cold, and is considered one of the best periods for rain to fall. After the Wasm ends, the “Al-Mubarqaniyah” season comes, which lasts for about 39 to 40 days, during which the weather gradually begins to cool, and the cold intensifies at the end and the nights become longer.

Signs of the start of the Wasm season

There are several clear signs of the onset of Wasm, including migratory birds crossing the skies of the Arabian Peninsula, and the harvesting of Sidr honey. Cloud movement during this period is from west to east due to the western jet stream, and temperatures moderate at night as a result of the apparent movement of the sun towards the south, in addition to the appearance of medium dust waves due to the upper depressions affecting the region.

Seasonal diseases and weather activity

Some seasonal diseases, such as influenza, are active during this season, due to the large differences in temperatures between the warm day and the cold night.
