Northern borders region: The Northern Borders Region has entered a significant astronomical season, marking the transition from fall to a mild winter. This 13-day period begins with the dawn rise of the Pleiades star over the eastern horizon, signaling the start of cooler nights and stable, moderate weather.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the season is agriculturally important, marking the start of planting for winter crops such as wheat, barley, and legumes, in preparation for expected rainy weeks. In addition, the rains that fall during this period are crucial for truffle growth.
Meteorologically, the season brings clear signs of cooling: lower humidity in coastal areas, calmer winds, and a gradual increase in nighttime coldness, especially in northern regions and highlands.
