The Meteorology Department has forecast that the country will be affected by scattered showers, occasionally thunderstorm, with suspended dust leading to reduced visibility, and active winds at times, along with a chance of fog. The weather will be hot and humid during the day and mild and humid at night throughout the weekend.
The Acting Director of the Department, Dharar 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 low-pressure system, coinciding with a low-pressure system in the upper atmospheric layers. This will lead to the proliferation of low and medium clouds, accompanied by scattered rainfall, 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, with occasional strengthening, and there is a chance of fog forming in the evening and early morning hours, with horizontal visibility gradually improving during the first hours of the morning.
He clarified that the weather during the day will be hot and humid, especially in coastal areas, with partly to mostly cloudy skies. Winds will be southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, ranging from 10 to 45 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered showers, occasionally thunderstorm, and dust. The expected maximum temperatures will range between 31 and 33 degrees Celsius, while sea conditions will be light to moderate waves, occasionally rising to 2 to 6 feet.
He noted that the weather at night will be mild and humid, especially in coastal areas, with partly cloudy skies. Winds will be southeasterly to variable, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, ranging from 8 to 40 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered showers, occasionally thunderstorm later, and a chance of fog in some areas. The expected minimum temperatures will range between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius, while sea conditions will be light to moderate waves, ranging from 1 to 5 feet.
He stated that the weather on Friday daytime will be hot and humid, especially in coastal areas, with mostly cloudy to partly cloudy skies. Winds will be variable to southeasterly, light to moderate in speed, occasionally strengthening, ranging from 8 to 40 kilometers per hour, with a chance of scattered showers, occasionally thunderstorm, and a chance of fog in the evening. The expected maximum temperatures will range between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius, while sea conditions will be light to moderate waves, ranging from 1 to 5 feet.
