Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Emirates Astronomy Society and a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, said temperatures begin to decline gradually after 20 August.

However, high temperatures are expected to persist until the end of September, accompanied by increased humidity and the formation of morning fog.

Al Jarwan explained that natural signs associated with Suhail's appearance include cooler water and ground temperatures at dawn, soil that retains moisture longer after evening irrigation, and changes in vegetation, bird migration and livestock behaviour.

The appearance of Suhail also traditionally signals preparations for the upcoming agricultural season, while fish begin moving closer to the coast as sea temperatures gradually decline.

Al Jarwan said Suhail can be seen above the south-eastern horizon from 24 August, about 40 minutes before sunrise.

The star disappeared from the evening sky in early May and remained absent for approximately three and a half months before its seasonal return.

Scientifically known as Canopus (α Carinae), Suhail is the second-brightest star in the night sky after Sirius. It lies approximately 310 light-years from Earth.

Its annual appearance has long served as an important seasonal astronomical marker across the Arabian Peninsula.
