Moderate weather with chances of rainfall, emergence of truffles, and revival of vegetation
The Al-Ajiri Scientific Center announced that the Wasm season is approaching in Kuwait and the region, starting on Thursday, October 15, 2026, marking the beginning of a transitional period characterized by moderate daytime temperatures and cooler nights, typically associated with rainfall.
In a press statement, the center said the Wasm season lasts 52 days, divided into four astronomical mansions, each lasting 13 days: Al-Awa’, 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 gradual moderation in temperatures.

The center clarified that the beginning of the season, with the mansion of Al-Awa’, is marked by moderate 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, and is also linked to the emergence of truffles (known locally as “fuq’a’”), depending on prevailing rainfall conditions.
