KUWAIT: The Meteorological Department forecast hot weather across the country during the weekend, with hot-to-moderate conditions expected at night. The forecast comes as Kuwait remains under the influence of an extension of the Indian monsoon depression, accompanied by light to moderate northwesterly winds that may raise dust, particularly in desert areas, Director of the Meteorological Department Dharar Al-Ali told KUNA.

The maximum temperature is expected to range between 44°C and 46°C. Sea conditions will be light to moderate, with waves between two and five feet. Tonight’s weather will remain hot to moderate, with winds between 8 and 35 km/h and minimum temperatures between 28°C and 30°C.
Friday’s forecast indicates continued hot weather, with northwesterly winds at 12 to 42 km/h, sometimes active and causing dust in open areas. Maximum temperatures will range from 43°C to 45°C, while sea conditions will be light to moderate, occasionally reaching waves of six feet. Nighttime temperatures are expected to drop slightly, ranging between 27°C and 29°C, with moderate winds.
