KUWAIT: The country will continue to experience very hot and dusty weather conditions through Friday, with reduced horizontal visibility expected in open areas, the Meteorological Department announced on Wednesday. Acting Director of the Meteorology Department Dhirar Al-Ali said in a statement to KUNA that the current weather pattern is being driven by an extension of the Indian seasonal low, accompanied by a very hot and dry air mass.
This system is bringing moderate to active northwesterly winds, with speeds possibly exceeding 50 km/h. Al-Ali warned that the dust-laden winds could reduce horizontal visibility to less than 1,000 meters in some areas, particularly in open and desert regions. He added that sea waves may rise to over six feet during this period.
The northwesterly winds are expected to continue until Thursday, ranging between 15 to 45 km/h, with occasional gusts causing further dust and high sea waves. Al-Ali noted that winds will gradually ease by Friday, leading to an improvement in weather conditions and a gradual settling of dust by evening. He indicated that daytime temperatures will remain extremely high, with maximum ranging between 48°C and 51°C, while nighttime temperatures are expected to remain hot to warm, ranging between 34°C and 36°C. — KUNA
