After some mild and moderate weather, the country is set to start heating up from today (April 29), announced Qatar Calendar House (QCH).

“Tomorrow marks the beginning of the 39-day ‘Al Kannah’ season, during which the stars of the Pleiades star cluster disappear, with the mild evening weather coming to an end, and the beginning of scorching summer heat during the day,” said the QCH in a tweet on Friday.

يوم غدٍ 29 أبريل يبدأ #موسم_الكنة، ومدته 39 يومًا، وفيه أواخر أيام اعتدال الجو مساءً وبداية ارتفاع حرارة الصيف نهارًا، وتكثر فيه التقلبات الجوية والعواصف الترابية، وتهب في منتصفه رياح البوارح، وسميت بالكنة لاختفاء نجوم #الثريا خلالها، ولها من المنازل: الرشا، والشرطين، والبطين pic.twitter.com/rLLxIVZJu0

Qatar experienced its coldest days of the year in January, with the advent of the Bard Al Azariq. The extremely cold weather lasted until the end of the month.

The country then experienced the first signs of spring last month, with the Hameemain (two heats) season beginning on March 8 and lasting for 26 days. The length of day and night became equal during the middle of this season.
