Hot, humid weather with thundery showers expected in Kuwait
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 9: Kuwait is set to experience hot and humid weather accompanied by scattered rainfall — potentially thundery at times—starting this evening and continuing through next Monday, according to the Meteorology Department. Speaking to KUNA, Acting Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, said the country will be affected by an extension of the Indian monsoon depression, bringing with it a hot and humid air mass, particularly over coastal areas. The conditions are expected to cause the accumulation of low- and medium-level clouds, with cumulus clouds likely to lead to scattered, sometimes thundery rains. Al-Ali added that active winds accompanying the rain could result in dust storms in some areas, while fog formation is also anticipated, leading to reduced horizontal visibility—especially during late night and early morning hours. He pointed out that weather radar operated by the Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) indicates thundercloud formation in southwestern regions of the country as early as today. Motorists, especially those traveling on highways, were urged to exercise caution due to sudden drops in visibility. Al-Ali also advised individuals with asthma or allergies to wear protective masks when outdoors, especially amid increased dust and humidity. The Meteorology Department encouraged the public to stay updated by following weather bulletins through its official website, mobile application, and social media accounts.

Slight rain and thunderstorms possible as Kuwait faces a humid spell
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 6: The acting Director of the Meteorology Department, Dharar Al-Ali, announced on Wednesday that Kuwait is currently experiencing humid and cloudy weather, with a slight chance of scattered rain that may occasionally be accompanied by thunderstorms. Speaking to KUNA, Al-Ali noted that the country is being influenced by an extension of the Indian monsoon depression, bringing with it a hot and humid air mass, particularly over coastal areas. This atmospheric condition coincides with a cold upper-air depression, leading to thermal convection and the development of low- and medium-level clouds, including cumulus clouds. These weather patterns are expected to bring limited chances of scattered rainfall, which may turn thundery at times. Al-Ali also mentioned that prevailing winds are southeasterly to variable in direction, generally light to moderate in speed but may become active at times—especially in open areas—causing dust to rise. Looking ahead, the forecast for Friday through early next week indicates relatively hot and humid conditions during the day, and hot to very humid nights.
