The northern, central and western regions of Saudi Arabia bid farewell to the severe cold wave of the winter season, 13 days after the middle of the Shabt season. Yesterday (Monday) the first of February entered the town, and his cold was lighter.
The weather specialist, Dr. Khaled Al-Zaaq, said that after 13 days we bid farewell to the severe cold season, and the equinox comes with what is called scorpions, which are not devoid of lightning hail stings. The second star has entered, meaning that there are almost two weeks left, and February ends, which is characterized by the speed of weather fluctuations according to the popular proverb (February, what is on his words is a band) and its wind is cold (February, the squiggle of the peban), and the fluctuation in the movement of the winds (February, the clip of the band)!
The cold wave and the low temperatures and frost experienced by Hail and the governorates of Rafha, Tarif, and the cities of Arar, Tabuk, Al-Jawf, and Al-Qurayyat coincide with the middle of the storm of Shabt, which comes after the storm of Al-Murabaaniyyah. Turbans, and the sleeping cold awakened, and the night was long for the one standing »!
And the popular proverbs used in the regions of the Arabian Peninsula, especially in the winter, reflected many aspects of life for its Arab peoples, specifically in the regions north of the plateau of Najd, such as Hail or in the north of Saudi Arabia. The months of the year have a share in many popular proverbs and sayings.
Al-Zaaq adds that in view of this atmosphere in the Shabt cold, which is more severe and harsh than the Murabaaniya cold, the Gulf people call the Shabt the Bateen cold, indicating that the square is considered the beginning of the cold, while the Shabt is the peak of the cold, and the traditional bashout markets worn by men are crowded.
A red, dark sky and a long night
According to historians and astronomers, the “Shabat” season, which is in the middle of the winter season, comes as a result of the cold winds coming from Siberia and the Arctic across Europe in this period of each year and is interspersed with the “Azirq” season, which is 8 days in which the cold reaches its maximum peak. The period was the cultivation of alfalfa (fodder for animals) in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria, watermelons and cotton in Egypt, and palm trees in Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
The “Shibt” season is characterized by the formation of frost in the cities of the north of the Kingdom and central Najd, while the rains abound in the quadratic period that has passed, and in the Shabt period the day begins to take part of the night, so the day becomes longer and the night shorter, due to the approach of the earth to the spring equinox, while in the quadratic period the night is It is much longer than the day and during the “Shabt” season, the sky is also dyed red while it is white and dark according to the type of clouds in the quadrangular period. Cold while the peak of the cold.
Al-Shabat has two stars, the first is Al-Na’eem and lasts for 13 days, and the second is the town, which lasts for a period completely similar to Al-Na’eem, and at the beginning of the Al-Na’eem period the cold becomes severe, especially in the early morning hours, and is characterized by sudden gusts of wind without warning or signs, while the middle of Al-Na’eem is characterized by the multiplication of rain clouds. The Al-Na’ayem petrel is the one in which cultivation is not recommended at all because of its coldness and the formation of frost that harms and destroys the crops. As for the star or the second petrel of Shabt, which is the town, the weather is cold and wet, and the beginning of this petrel heralds the beginning of the gradual receding of the cold, and the temperatures begin to gradually rise, which is the time in which farmers are advised to fertilize the land, plow it, and sow grain on it.
