For example, the the period before the gu' and dayr rains when the climate gets very hot is called kaliil. As the Sayid said: Hayeeshee wax Hawd lagu yaqaan, hawkar iyo oone Hadda aynu joognaana waa, hoga kaliileede Allihiii harada noo buuxin jiray, kuma harraadsiiyo Also, the middle part of the gu' season when there is plentiful rainfall is called seermaweydo.
