Gulf Rainy Season Signs
Before satellites and weather maps, people in the Gulf forecast rain by watching clouds gather, tracking wind direction, and observing lightning, thunder, and changes in the weather. They also relied on the stars’ positions, including Suhail, whose appearance was associated with the easing of the heat and the approach of seasonal change. They regarded the *Wasmi* season as one of the most important rainy seasons for the growth of wild plants. They gave clouds different names: *muzn* for rain-bearing clouds, *riham* for low clouds, *radm* for dense, heavy clouds, and *haqban* for clouds during the transition period before *Wasmi*.
