Rainfall chances rise as countdown to end of summer begins in September

Weather researcher Abdulaziz Al-Hussaini has announced that the ninth month of the year, September, signals the beginning of the countdown to the end of summer and the start of autumn in the Kingdom. In a post on his X account, Al-Hussaini explained that this transition period brings an increased likelihood of rainfall.

During the early part of the month, nighttime temperatures become milder, though midday remains hot. However, as September progresses and atmospheric depressions move through the region, conditions gradually improve, leading to a more favorable climate.

Al-Hussaini emphasized that September serves as a transitional phase from summer to winter. For Arabs, summer effectively concludes on September 5, while the astronomical end of the season occurs on September 22, when day and night are of equal length.
