KUWAIT CITY, Oct 26: Meteorologist Issa Ramadan said, “There will be no rain before Nov 10, as there are no signs of clouds on the weather map before this date, although we hope this will change. The sky is clear and the air is light.”. Regarding the weather over the weekend, he noted that it was ideal for going out and fishing, with only slight humidity along the coast. He revealed “the maximum temperature was around 35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum was 29 degrees Celsius. In the desert and farms in Abdally and Wafra, the minimum temperature at dawn dropped to 15 degrees Celsius, while the maximum was 19 degrees Celsius.”

Explaining the higher temperature in the capital compared to inland areas, Ramadan said, “this is due to the heat island phenomenon, which means the city absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night. One of the contributing factors is traffic congestion. I always emphasize the importance of planting trees and selecting species that help lower temperatures, as tree planting can reduce heat by up to 12 degrees Celsius. Through planting, we can protect ourselves from excessive heat.” He added, “The weather this week will be as pleasant as it gets, and those planning to camp may need to wear a jacket.”
