KUWAIT CITY, June 30: The acting Director of the Meteorological Department Dhirar Al-Ali says the country will be affected by hot, dry, and occasionally strong winds that will stir up dust and reduce visibility, especially in open areas, from Tuesday, July 1 until the afternoon of Friday, July 4. Al-Ali told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Monday that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country will be influenced by the extension of the Indian monsoon low-pressure system, accompanied by a hot, dry air mass and northwesterly winds ranging from moderate to active, sometimes strong, with speeds between 20 and 60 kilometers per hour. He explained that these winds will raise dust, reducing horizontal visibility in some areas to less than 1,000 meters, particularly in open areas, and will cause sea waves to rise above six feet.
The general weather is expected to be extremely hot and dusty during the day, and hot to warm at night, with dust gradually settling in the evening. The expected maximum temperatures would range between 47 and 49 degrees Celsius, while minimum temperatures range between 31 and 34 degrees Celsius. Al-Ali urged drivers on highways to exercise caution due to sudden drops or loss of horizontal visibility, especially on open roads, and warned seagoers about high waves. People with asthma and allergies are advised to wear masks when going outside. (KUNA)
