Saudi Gazette report ARAR — The fall season has begun in Saudi Arabia, bringing moderate temperatures and a welcome break from summer heat, a transition marked by a prominent astronomical event. This event is known locally as qiran (conjunction) 19, where the moon aligns with the Pleiades star cluster. This phenomenon has been a traditional time marker for generations of Bedouins, signaling the start of the rainy season and the growth of plants vital for pastures. According to Adnan Khalifa, a member of the local space and astronomy club in Arar, this season is a "rest period" for nature, allowing the land to rejuvenate and improving pasture quality for livestock. Beyond its environmental importance, fall also impacts daily life. The cooler weather encourages outdoor recreational activities, reduces electricity consumption, and promotes social gatherings and trips, reconnecting people with traditional customs and strengthening community bonds.
