KUWAIT CITY, June 23: The Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, announced on Monday that Kuwait will continue to experience active, dust-raising winds, with a gradual improvement in weather conditions expected by Thursday evening.

Speaking to KUNA, Al-Ali explained that the current weather pattern is influenced by the extension of the Indian monsoon depression, bringing with it a hot and dry air mass. This system is accompanied by moderate to active northwesterly winds that are stirring up dust and reducing horizontal visibility, particularly in open areas.

He noted that wind speeds are expected to range between 25 and 50 kilometers per hour, with sea waves rising to more than six feet as a result.

Al-Ali warned that wind intensity will increase further on Monday and Tuesday, with gusts reaching between 35 and 65 kilometers per hour. This could reduce horizontal visibility to less than 1,000 meters, and, in some exposed regions, visibility may drop to nearly zero.

He added that the overall weather will remain hot and dusty during the day and tend to stay hot at night. Dust levels are expected to begin settling in the evening. The maximum daytime temperatures will range from 44 to 46 degrees Celsius, while nighttime lows are forecast to be between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius.

Al-Ali concluded that a relative calming of the winds and gradual improvement in weather conditions are anticipated starting Thursday evening.
