KUWAIT CITY, May 5: The Meteorology Department issued a warning on Monday morning about northwesterly winds that may exceed 60 km/h. These winds could potentially cause dust storms and reduced horizontal visibility in some areas, particularly exposed regions. Sea waves may also rise above 6 feet. The forecast indicates that the weather will be hot and partly cloudy during the day, and remain hot at night. Northwesterly winds will blow at light to moderate speeds, occasionally becoming active, ranging between 12 and 40 km/h. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 41°C, while the minimum temperature will be around 30°C.
