The Al-Ajiri Scientific Center announced that the Wasm season in Kuwait and the region is approaching on Thursday, October 15, 2026, marking the start of a transitional period characterized by mild daytime weather and cooler nights, typically associated with rainfall.
In a press statement, the center said that the Wasm season lasts 52 days, divided into four astronomical mansions, each lasting 13 days: Al-Awaa, Al-Simak, Al-Ghufrah, and Al-Zubana.
It added that one of the season’s key features is the sun’s continued shift toward the south and the decreasing angle of its rays, which reduces heating hours during the day and paves the way for a period of gradual temperature moderation.
The center clarified that the season’s beginning, coinciding with the mansion of Al-Awaa, is marked by mild daytime weather and cool nights, alongside shorter days and longer nights, with sunrise occurring later and sunset earlier, as well as the continued migration of birds.
It noted that the Wasm season is associated with rainfall that contributes to the germination of wild plants and the revival of vegetation cover, and it is also considered a season linked to the emergence of truffles (fugh), depending on prevailing rainfall conditions.
