Kuwait City – The Meteorology Department has forecast that the country will be affected by scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm, accompanied by suspended dust that will reduce visibility, and active winds at times. Temperatures will be warm and humid during the day and mild and humid at night over the weekend.
The Acting Director of the Department, Derrar Al-Ali, told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday that weather maps and numerical models indicate 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 an increase in low and mid-level clouds, accompanied by scattered rain showers, occasionally thunderstorm, and suspended dust causing reduced horizontal visibility in some areas.
Al-Ali added that winds will be variable to southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, and will pick up at times, with a chance of fog forming in the evening and the early morning hours. Horizontal visibility will gradually improve during the early morning hours.
