KUWAIT: The Meteorological Department has forecast hot daytime temperatures and moderate nights over the weekend, with a chance of dust on Friday and Saturday, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). Director of the Meteorological Department, Dharar Al-Ali, told KUNA that Kuwait is currently influenced by a weak extension of the Indian monsoon depression, accompanied by a hot and humid air mass.
He added that this system will gradually recede on Friday morning, allowing a high-pressure area from the northwest to dominate, bringing relatively hot and dry conditions with light to moderate northwesterly winds. These winds may stir up dust in exposed areas and cause high waves at varying intervals.
For Friday, Al-Ali said the morning will be hot with light to moderate northwesterly winds, sometimes active, at 12 to 50 km/h and a chance of dust. Maximum temperatures are expected to range from 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, with the sea light to moderate and waves reaching 2 to 6 feet at times. Friday evening will bring moderate temperatures with active northwesterly winds along the coast, ranging from 15 to 50 km/h. Minimum temperatures will be between 21 and 23 degrees Celsius, with the sea light to moderate and waves from 2 to 6 feet.
Looking ahead to Saturday, Al-Ali said the weather will remain hot, with northwesterly winds, light to moderate in speed, occasionally active at 15 to 50 km/h, and a chance of dust. Maximum temperatures are expected between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius, with the sea light to moderate and waves rising from 2 to 6 feet. Saturday evening will be moderate with variable northwesterly winds at 8 to 32 km/h. Minimum temperatures are forecast between 19 and 21 degrees Celsius, and the sea will remain light to moderate, with waves from 1 to 4 feet. — KUNA
