KUWAIT CITY, June 5: The Meteorological Department says the high-pressure system accompanied by a hot and dry air mass experienced in the country will recede, making way for the seasonal Indian low-pressure system during the weekend. This will bring a relatively hot and humid air mass, along with variable winds shifting to southeasterly at light to moderate speeds during the weekend. The acting Director of the Meteorological Department Dhirar Al-Ali told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that wind speeds will gradually decrease until Sunday, after which southeasterly winds are expected to become active again starting Monday morning. These winds may stir up dust and cause an increase in sea waves.

He explained that on Friday, the weather is expected to be hot during the day, with northwesterly to variable winds, light to moderate in speed, ranging from 8 to 32 km/h. The high temperatures are expected to be between 41 and 43°C, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with waves ranging from one to four feet. The weather on Friday evening will be hot to warm, with northwesterly to variable winds at light to moderate speeds ranging from 8 to 30 km/h. The low temperatures are expected to be between 26 and 28°C, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with wave heights between one and three feet.

On Saturday, the weather will be hot and relatively humid in coastal areas during the day, with winds shifting from northwesterly to southeasterly at light to moderate speeds of 8 to 32 km/h. The expected high temperatures will range between 42 and 44°C, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with waves from one to four feet. The weather on Saturday evening will be hot to warm and relatively humid, especially in coastal areas, with southeasterly to variable winds at light to moderate speeds of 8 to 30 km/h. The expected low temperatures will be between 24 and 26°C, and sea conditions will be light to moderate, with waves between one and three feet. (KUNA)
