The arrival of the Suhail star (also known as the Canopus) heralds the end of the summer's heat and the beginning of a transition to milder weather, Al Jarwan wrote on twitter.

He said that due to the shift in weather in the UAE, people in the area had initially predicted that the star would arrive on August 15th or 18th.

“However, observing Canopus before August 20 is impossible in southern areas like Liwa and before August 25 in northern regions like Ras Al Khaimah,” confirmed Al Jarwan.
