KUWAIT CITY, March 20: The Meteorological Department forecasts warm daytime temperatures and cooler nights throughout the upcoming weekend, with scattered rain expected from this evening, Thursday, through tomorrow afternoon, Friday. There's a possibility of rain returning at dawn on Sunday.
Abdulaziz Al-Qarawi, Director of the Department, informed Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that weather maps and numerical models indicate the country's influence by an extension of a high-pressure system gradually retreating to make way for a surface low-pressure system. This low-pressure system is accompanied by warm, humid air, coinciding with an extension of an upper-level atmospheric low-pressure system.
Al-Qarawi elaborated on the weather conditions, highlighting the prevalence of low and medium clouds intermixed with cumulus clouds. There's a likelihood of scattered rain starting from later this evening until tomorrow afternoon, followed by a disappearance of rain chances tomorrow evening. Fog formation with reduced horizontal visibility is expected at night, with rain chances returning again at dawn on Sunday. Intermittent thunderstorms may occur in some areas, while the overall weather pattern remains warm during the day and colder at night.
Today's weather is projected to be warm, with variable winds shifting to northwesterly, light to moderate in speed ranging between 8 and 28 kilometers per hour. Scattered clouds will dot the sky, and maximum temperatures are anticipated to range from 25 to 27 degrees Celsius. Sea conditions will be light to moderate, with wave heights between 1 and 3 feet.

Sea conditions will remain light to moderate, with occasional waves reaching heights of 2 to 6 feet.
