Suhel star marks end of summer in Arabian Peninsula
The star (or celestial body) Suhail, globally known as Canopus, will appear at dawn on Monday, August 24, 2026, in the sky over the Arabian Peninsula. It is a historic astronomical event marking a transitional period from summer to autumn. Although its appearance does not directly influence the weather, it serves as a temporal indicator of the decline in hot temperatures and the gradual moderation of the climate, coinciding with the approaching autumnal equinox. Suhail has long been an important traditional symbol among Arabs, and it is clearly visible in most regions of the Arabian Peninsula, whereas it cannot be seen north of the 33rd parallel latitude.
