KUWAIT: Kuwait is experiencing cloudy and humid weather this week, with light to moderate winds and a slight chance of scattered, possibly thunderous rain, the country’s Meteorological Department said on Wednesday. Acting Director of the department Dhirar Al-Ali told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that weather maps indicate the country remains under the influence of the Indian monsoon low, which is pushing in hot and humid air masses — especially along coastal areas.
This coincides with a cooler upper-atmosphere low, creating conditions for cloud formation and occasional convective clouds that could bring limited rain. “The winds are mostly southeasterly to variable in direction, generally light to moderate but may become active at times, raising dust in exposed areas,” Al-Ali said. Looking ahead, Al-Ali added that from Friday through early next week, Kuwait’s weather will remain hot and relatively humid during the day, and hot to warm and humid at night. — KUNA
