The Meteorology Department has forecast that low and mid-level clouds will dominate the country, bringing scattered light rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm activity, and a chance of fog. Overall, weather conditions during the weekend will be hot and humid during the day, and warm to mild at night.
The Acting Director of the Department, Dharar Al-Ali, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be affected by an extension of a surface low-pressure system, coinciding with a low-pressure system in the upper atmospheric layers. This will lead to increased low and mid-level clouds accompanied by scattered light rain, which may occasionally be thunderstorm activity. Winds will be southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, with a chance of fog forming in the evening and early morning.
Al-Ali added that Thursday daytime weather will be hot, partly cloudy, and relatively humid, especially in coastal areas. Winds will be variable to southeasterly, light to moderate, ranging between 8 and 30 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered light rain. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius, while sea conditions will be light to moderate, with wave heights between 1 and 3 feet.
