KUWAIT CITY, March 20: The Meteorology Department has forecasted that Kuwait will be affected by a deepening surface low-pressure system, coinciding with an upper atmospheric low, leading to increased cloud cover and scattered rainfall.

According to Dharar Al-Ali, the acting director of the department, the peak of the rainfall is anticipated from Friday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. Southerly winds, active today and tomorrow, are likely to cause dust storms and reduced horizontal visibility, particularly in open areas, along with high sea waves.
