KUWAIT, May 28: The country will continue to experience hot and dusty weather conditions through the week, with active winds reducing horizontal visibility in some areas, according to acting Director of the Meteorological Department Darrar Al-Ali.
Speaking to KUNA, Al-Ali said weather maps and numerical models indicate that Kuwait is currently under the influence of an extension of a low-pressure system accompanied by a dry and hot air mass. Temperatures are expected to rise gradually on Thursday and Friday, with shifting wind patterns contributing to dust activity across exposed areas.
He noted that winds will shift from southwesterly to northwesterly, ranging from moderate to brisk at times, leading to reduced visibility in some regions.
