The Al-Ajari Scientific Center confirmed that Kuwait’s natural rainy season, known as Wasm, will begin on Thursday, October 16, 2025.

The center explained that the Wasm season spans 52 days, divided into four distinct phases — Al-Awa, Al-Sammak, Al-Ghafra, and Al-Zabana — each lasting 13 days.

Among the main signs of the season, the center noted, is the sun’s continued southward tilt, which causes a decline in the sun’s angle and reduces heat, reports Al-Rai daily.

This shift marks the start of milder weather, with cooler days and refreshing nights.

At the beginning of Wasm, the “Howling” sub-season also commences, lasting 13 days and bringing noticeable changes in nature and climate, including active bird migration.

During Al-Awa, the days shorten, night hours lengthen, and sunrise and sunset times shift later, signaling the transition to cooler months.

The center highlighted that Wasm rains are particularly significant, as they usher in a fruitful spring and are often associated with the growth of truffles in desert areas.
