Suhail's appearance signals summer end
Astroph enthusiasts are awaiting the appearance of the star Suhail, which is considered an important astronomical sign indicating the approaching end of summer heat and the beginning of its decline. Suhail begins to rise in the sky over the Northern Borders region on August 26 and typically becomes visible to the naked eye during the first third of September. Known as "Canopus," Suhail is about 310 light-years away from Earth and is regarded as the second brightest star in the sky after Sirius Al-Yamani. Arabs associate the emergence of Suhail with seasonal signs and changing weather, as its appearance coincides with the start of decreasing temperatures and longer nights. This reflects its connection to the astronomical and folk heritage of the Arabian Peninsula. The season of Suhail’s visibility lasts approximately 52 days, divided into four phases, and serves as an indicator of the gradual retreat of the intense summer heat.
