The Director of the Meteorology Department, Deputy Director Dharar Al-Ali, stated that the country is experiencing a drop in temperatures, with weak chances of scattered rain expected on Sunday, and occasional thunderstorms on the upcoming Sunday.
Al-Ali told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Wednesday that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be affected by an extension of the Indian monsoon low, accompanied by a hot and humid air mass. Winds will be variable in direction, shifting to light to moderate southeasterly breezes, which will intensify at times and 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.
He added that chances of rain will be weak and scattered starting from Sunday, with occasional thunderstorms on the upcoming Sunday. Generally, the weather will be hot and relatively humid, especially along the coasts during the day, and warm to mild at night.
He noted there is 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 application, and its social media accounts to stay updated on the latest weather developments.
