Flood risks cloud Kuwait weekend weather outlook

Meanwhile, Kuwait is expected to experience scattered, occasionally thundery rain, blowing dust, and possible fog over the coming days, with reduced horizontal visibility in some areas, according to the Meteorological Department. Conditions are forecast to turn hot and humid during the day and moderate and humid at night toward the end of the week. Deputy Director of the Meteorological Department Dhirar Al- Ali told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country is being affected by the Sudanese depression.

This system is expected to bring increased low and medium cloud cover, sporadic rainfall that may be thundery at times, and carried dust that could reduce visibility in some areas. Al-Ali said winds will be variable, mainly southeasterly, light to moderate and occasionally active. Fog may form during evening and early-morning hours before horizontal visibility gradually improves. Friday will be hot and partly cloudy. Southwest to southeasterly winds will be light to moderate, occasionally active at 15–50 km/h, with a chance of dust in exposed areas. Maximum temperatures are expected to range from 36°C to 38°C, while sea conditions will remain light to moderate, with waves sometimes rising to 2–6 feet.

Friday night will be moderate and relatively humid, especially in coastal areas, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Southeast to northeasterly winds will reach 10–40 km/h at times, with possible scattered rain and light fog in some areas. Minimum temperatures are forecast between 21°C and 23°C, with sea waves of 2–6 feet. Saturday will be hot during the day, with partly cloudy to cloudy skies. Southwest to northwesterly winds will be light to moderate but occasionally active, reaching 12–55 km/h, with possible dust and scattered light rain.

Maximum temperatures are expected between 35°C and 37°C. Sea conditions will be moderate to high, with waves of 3–6 feet. Saturday night will be moderate and partly cloudy to cloudy, with northwest to southeasterly winds of 12–45 km/h, occasionally active. Scattered rain, sometimes thundery, is possible. Minimum temperatures are forecast between 21°C and 23°C, while sea waves may rise to 2–6 feet.
