Meteorology: Temperature drop expected, with chances of weak, scattered rain on Friday and thunderstorms on Sunday

Kuwait City, 30 September (KUNA) — The Acting Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, stated that the country is experiencing a drop in temperatures, with weak chances of scattered, occasionally thunderous rain expected on Friday and Sunday, respectively.

In an interview with the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Wednesday, Al-Ali explained that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be affected by an extension of the monsoon low, accompanied by a hot and humid air mass. Winds will be variable in direction, shifting to southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, with periods of strengthening that will cause sea waves to rise to more than six feet.

He forecast a relative decrease in maximum temperatures, ranging between 40 and 43 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures will range between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius across most parts of the country.

Al-Ali added that chances for rain will be weak and scattered starting from Friday, with occasional thunderstorms on Sunday. Generally, the weather will be hot and relatively humid, especially along the coasts during the day, and will tend to be warm to moderate at night.

He noted a possibility of fog forming on Saturday evening until Sunday morning, urging citizens and residents to follow the weather bulletin through the Department’s official website, its mobile application, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
