  • On Saturday, very hot weather is expected to continue, with daytime temperatures ranging between 46°C and 48°C. Winds will be lighter, blowing from the northwest at speeds of 10 to 35 km/h.
  • Saturday night is forecast to be warm and relatively humid in coastal areas, with minimum temperatures between 26°C and 28°C.

The Meteorological Department has forecast very hot and dry weather across Kuwait over the weekend, accompanied by dust-raising northwesterly winds that are expected to reduce horizontal visibility in some areas, particularly on Friday.

Acting Director of the Meteorological Department, Darrar Al-Ali, said weather maps and numerical models indicate that Kuwait will be affected by an extension of a surface low-pressure system combined with a very hot and dry air mass, resulting in elevated temperatures and dusty conditions.

According to the forecast, temperatures on Thursday are expected to range between 45°C and 47°C during the day, with light to moderate northwesterly winds occasionally becoming active and causing dust in exposed areas. Nighttime temperatures are expected to range between 28°C and 30°C.

Al-Ali noted that Friday will witness the most challenging weather conditions, with moderate to strong northwesterly winds reaching speeds of up to 55 km/h. These winds are expected to stir up dust and reduce visibility in several areas, while daytime temperatures are forecast to reach between 46°C and 48°C.

Dust is expected to gradually settle on Friday night, with temperatures remaining warm at between 29°C and 31°C.

On Saturday, very hot weather is expected to continue, with daytime temperatures ranging between 46°C and 48°C. Winds will be lighter, blowing from the northwest at speeds of 10 to 35 km/h.

Saturday night is forecast to be warm and relatively humid in coastal areas, with minimum temperatures between 26°C and 28°C.

The Meteorological Department has advised the public, particularly motorists and individuals working outdoors, to take necessary precautions during periods of reduced visibility and extreme heat.
