Arabia Weather - The Vice President of the Saudi Weather and Climate Society, Dr. Abdullah Al-Misnad , explained that the cold waves have not ended yet as some believe, and that they may continue with us until at least mid-April , and this period is known as the cold snap.

Al-Misnad pointed out that some people are rushing to store winter clothes in stores, thinking that the cold waves have ended, but it is better to wait until at least mid-April, when we may be surprised by a passing cold wave.

What is "intimate cold"?

The answer: Al-Humain season, which was formerly known as “sammak”, which is the last season of spring, and extends for 26 days. He pointed out that with the end of the season of Al-Humaymin, we will bid farewell to the effects of winter and spring, and it was given this name. Due to the heat of the Earth's interior.

During this season, many phenomena occur, such as the emergence of reptiles and poisonous animals such as scorpions, snakes, and insects from their winter homes, and the ground’s evaporation of moisture increases, which leads to the formation of clouds due to self-heating known as “fans and saraiyat,” which are the clouds that form in the “evening” wind period. When darkness falls, these clouds move to other areas.

The season of Al-Hamein (Al-Sammak) is considered the last cold season, and therefore the people say:

“O our Lord, O Most Merciful, stop us from turning away the intimate ones.”
