The Suhail star is expected to rise on 24 August, marking the traditional turning point at the end of the UAE’s peak summer, according to Gulf News and Khaleej Times.
Suhail is used as a seasonal marker in traditional weather knowledge. Its appearance does not mean the heat ends on that date. Instead, it signals the start of a gradual shift away from the hottest part of the year.
Temperatures are expected to decline after the star rises. Nights should become cooler, while early-morning fog is also expected across the UAE and the wider Arabian Peninsula, Gulf News reported.
The easing will not happen immediately on 24 August. The date marks the beginning of the change, with relief expected to build gradually rather than arrive as a sudden drop in temperature.
Peak summer conditions have been especially intense this year. Temperatures in the UAE have crossed 50°C on hotter days, Khaleej Times reported. Those conditions have left many residents looking for a break from the soaring heat.
The available reports do not identify the exact places that recorded temperatures above 50°C. They also do not state whether those readings happened on a particular day or during a specific part of the day.
The forecast change is described across the UAE and the wider Arabian Peninsula. However, the sources do not provide a region-by-region outlook, so they do not say whether every part of the UAE will cool at the same pace or see the same level of fog.
They also do not provide specific temperatures for the weeks after 24 August. There is no precise forecast in the reports for when residents will feel a clear or sustained drop in the heat.
What is clear is the seasonal sequence: Suhail rises on 24 August, peak summer begins to ease, nights gradually cool and early-morning fog becomes more likely. Daytime conditions may still feel severe at first, so the date should be read as a marker for a slow transition rather than an instant change.
For residents planning outdoor activities, the reports offer a broad sign of improving conditions but not a detailed day-by-day forecast. More precise timing and local temperatures are not covered in the available reports.
