It is recommended to begin land plowing to make it suitable for planting agricultural crops for the rainy season, noting that temperatures will rise slightly after the rainy weather condition but for a short period before the onset of heavy rainy weather conditions, and since temperatures are suitable for crop growth, this will yield very good results for agricultural crops before the start of the winter season.
Temperatures are expected to approach their usual autumn averages slightly after mid-month with weather disturbances occurring in some areas, particularly southern regions, followed later by severe and heavy rainy weather conditions.
