The Al-Ajiri Scientific Center announced that the third mansion of the Al-Wasm season, known as “Al-Ghifar,” begins on November 11 and lasts for 13 days, ushering in the second half of the Al-Wasm season, during which temperatures gradually begin to decline.
In a press statement, the center said that Al-Ghifar is the seventh mansion of the autumn season, characterized by a general increase in coolness, with moderate weather during daytime hours.
It added that nighttime hours continue to lengthen while daytime hours shorten, and the time for the Asr prayer call reaches its earliest point of the year.
The center noted that nighttime hours exceed 13 hours, and explained that, according to the agricultural calendar, it is advisable during Al-Ghifar to plant all types of winter grains, as well as to fertilize date palms and turn the surrounding soil.
The center pointed out that one of the key features of this mansion is the onset of winter characteristics, with increased coolness at night compared to previous periods, while remaining moderate during the day. It also noted the occurrence of daytime winds, rough seas, and a drop in water temperature in the mornings.
