AL-AHSA: The fasting time during the holy month of Ramadan will exceed 15 hours in the northwestern region of the Kingdom, and many regions will experience very hot weather, an expert has said.
“Tabuk and Haql cities will have the longest fasting hours, that is 15 hours and 30 minutes,” Khalid Al-Zaaq, a member of the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences, told local media.
The fasting time will be 15 hours and 18 minutes in Dammam, while it will be 15 hours and eight minutes in Riyadh, he added.
The temperatures will hover between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius in Al-Kharj and, Al-Ahsa, Riyadh, Madinah and Qassim, he said.
The days are longer and nights are shorter in the north of the equator during this time of the year, he said. Al-Zaaq, however, expects the day temperatures to be moderate during the Haj season.
