Meteorology: Humid Weather with Chance of Rain and Fog This Weekend

The Meteorology Department has forecast that the country will be affected by scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm, with suspended dust reducing visibility and occasional active winds, as well as a chance of fog. The weather will be warm and humid during the day and mild and humid at night throughout the weekend.

Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday, Acting Director of the Department, Dharar Al-Ali, said that weather maps and numerical models indicate that the country will be influenced by an extension of a surface low-pressure system coinciding with a low-pressure system in the upper atmospheric layers. This will lead to the proliferation of low and mid-level clouds, accompanied by scattered rainfall that may be thunderstorm at times, and suspended dust causing reduced horizontal visibility in some areas.

Al-Ali added that winds will be variable in direction to southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, with a chance of fog forming in the evening and the early morning hours, while horizontal visibility will gradually improve during the early morning hours.

He clarified that the weather on Thursday daytime will be warm and humid, especially in coastal areas, with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening from 10 to 45 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm, and dust. The expected maximum temperatures will range between 31 and 33 degrees Celsius, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, occasionally rising to 2 to 6 feet.

He noted that the weather on Thursday night will be mild and humid, especially in coastal areas, with partly cloudy skies. Winds will be southeasterly to variable in direction, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening from 8 to 40 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm later in the night, and a chance of fog in some areas. The expected minimum temperatures will range between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, ranging from 1 to 5 feet.

He stated that the weather on Friday daytime will be warm and humid, especially in coastal areas, with mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies.
