Al-Wasm dates are approximate, based on the traditional folk calendar. They are not from the National Center for Meteorology or the Umm al-Qura calendar, and Al-Wasm is a heritage concept, not an official climate season. This page does not forecast rain. For official weather alerts, see the National Center for Meteorology.
Dates from the folk calendar as published by Miqatona (approximate, in Arabic); Hijri dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar.
Has it actually turned green?
In tradition, Al-Wasm is the season of the first rains. What counts is what the satellites see. Green area in the Kingdom now: about 7,529 km². Wider than October in 19 of the last 24 years.
