Anticipated weather brings rain and dust storms in outdoor settings
Gear up for a scorcher, folks! Today's forecast calls for sweltering, partially cloudy, and humid weather, with winds shifting from northeasterly to southeasterly, clocking in at 10-42 km/h. There could be a dusty spell in open areas, so don't forget your sunglasses!
As the sun sets, it's going to be another hot and sticky night, especially along the coast, according to Al-Qabas daily. Winds are expected to change direction again, this time to northwesterly, light to moderate, occasionally active at 8-40 km/h. Showers could roll in, and they might be accompanied by thunder, with dusty conditions persisting in open areas.
Keep your eyes on the mercury, as the Met Department predicts a peak temperature of 37°C at Kuwait International Airport, with a low of 23°C.
Here's a bit more insight into today's weather:
- Temperature: Hotter than last few days, reaching a high of 38–42°C and maintaining a warm nighttime temperature of 25–30°C, especially along the coast [1][2][4].
- Wind Conditions: The direction changes from northeasterly/southeasterly to northwesterly later in the day [2][5]. Speed-wise, it's mainly 10-45 km/h, with gusts up to 50 km/h causing occasional dust storms [2][5].
- Precipitation: The potential for scattered thundery rain showers exists, especially during periods of increased cloud cover [1][5]. Rainfall amounts are expected to be localized without any significant accumulations [2].
Be aware of dust storms causing reduced visibility in open areas, and keep a close eye on the "Sarayat" seasonal transition for rapid weather changes [5]. For real-time updates, the Kuwait Meteorological Center recommends using their mobile app (iOS/Android) for live alerts [2]. Stay safe and comfortable, weather watchers!
