Meteorology: Stable weather expected over the weekend, temperatures within normal ranges

The Meteorology Department has forecast stable weather conditions across the country over the weekend, with temperatures remaining within their normal ranges. Winds will be light to moderate, blowing from the north-west to variable directions. The weather will be hot during daytime hours and warm to mild at night.

Deputy Director of the Department, Derrar Al-Ali, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday that weather conditions are expected to improve as the country comes under the influence of an extension of the seasonal Indian low-pressure system, which is gradually receding. This will allow a high-pressure system to extend from the north-west, bringing scattered clouds.

Al-Ali added that Thursday daytime weather will be hot and relatively humid along coastal areas, with north-westerly to variable winds light to moderate, ranging from 8 to 28 kilometers per hour. Some high clouds will appear. 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.

He clarified that Thursday night weather will be warm to mild, with variable to north-westerly winds light to moderate, ranging from 6 to 26 kilometers per hour, and some high clouds. Minimum temperatures are expected to range between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, with sea conditions light to moderate, wave heights between 1 and 3 feet.

Regarding Friday daytime, he noted it will be hot with north-westerly to variable winds light to moderate, ranging from 10 to 30 kilometers per hour, and scattered clouds. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 41 and 43 degrees Celsius, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with wave heights between 1 and 4 feet.

For Friday night, he stated the weather will be warm to mild, partly cloudy, with variable to north-westerly winds light to moderate, ranging from 8 to 28 kilometers per hour. Minimum temperatures are expected to range between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, with sea conditions light to moderate, wave heights between 1 and 3 feet.

He mentioned that Saturday daytime weather will be hot and partly cloudy, with north-westerly to variable winds light to moderate, ranging from 8 to 32 kilometers per hour. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with wave heights between 1 and 4 feet.

Al-Ali predicted that Saturday night weather will be warm to mild and partly cloudy, with north-westerly to variable winds light to moderate, ranging from 8 to 28 kilometers per hour. Minimum temperatures will range between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, with sea conditions light to moderate, wave heights between 1 and 3 feet.
