Emirates skies see rise of Al-Murzam
On the dawn of today, the UAE sky witnessed the appearance of the star "Al-Marzam" or "Al-Shar'a Al-Yamaniyah." It is one of the brightest stars in the sky and marks the end of the scorching hot period known as "Jumrat Al-Qayz," a time of intense heat in the Arabian Peninsula. Its visibility continues until August 10th. The star’s appearance coincides with the rising of the lunar phase called "Al-Dira'a" (the arm) from the moon’s phases. It also occurs alongside a seasonal abundance of ripe dates in the region, often summarized by the saying "When Al-Marzam appears, fill the bag," indicating the harvest of date fruits and increasing humidity. This period often leads to the development of local cumulus clouds over the Jebel Al-Hajar mountains and brings various intensities of rain.
