Suhail Star Spotted: UAE’s Weather Is About To Get Cooler

If you’ve been huffing and puffing in your outdoor walks around the UAE lately, you’re in for some good news. Earlier this week, stargazers from the Astronomy Centre announced that the Suhail star had been spotted.

What does this mean?

Well, generally the sighting of the Suhail star over this part of the world marks the shift towards the weather: so from these warm climates to cooler weather.

The star was sighted at around 5am on August 23, 2021 and although this doesn’t mean that it’ll immediately get colder over night – it’s a great reminder that it is soon to come.

In the below tweet, Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences announced the sighting of the Suhail star.

Which one is the Suhail star?

It’s basically the second-brightest star after Sirius, and The National even reported that there was once a time when this star guided pearl divers and Hajj pilgrims as they walked the night.

You know, prior to Google maps and all.
