According to the Al-Ojairi Scientific Center, the seasonal transition from winter to spring began on this day, Sunday. The center described this seasonal shift to KUNA in a statement, citing dusty winds and abrupt, rapid drops in temperature.

The center said that when winter gave way to spring, temperatures would rise until they stabilized in the springtime. The Adhan prayer period would start to decrease by one minute on February 23 at 12:02 p.m. with this seasonal adjustment. The center finished by noting that when spring approaches and the sun rises at 6:25 a.m. local time and sets at 5:39 p.m., daylight hours will begin to extend. (KUNA)
