Kuwait Meteorological Department issues rain warning.

KUWAIT CITY, April 15: The Kuwait Meteorological Department has issued a weather advisory indicating the possibility of scattered rain, ranging from light to moderate intensity, accompanied by occasional thunderstorms. This weather pattern commenced on Monday morning and is expected to persist until midday on Tuesday.

Abdulaziz Al-Qarawi, Director of the Meteorological Department, provided insights to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), attributing the current weather conditions to the influence of a surface depression coupled with a humid air mass. Concurrently, an additional depression in the upper layers of the atmosphere contributes to the proliferation of low and medium clouds, occasionally interspersed with cumulus clouds.

Al-Qarawi elaborated on the implications of these atmospheric phenomena, indicating that they create favorable conditions for scattered rain of varying intensity, occasionally accompanied by thunderstorms. Additionally, active winds are expected to stir up dust, resulting in reduced horizontal visibility, particularly in exposed areas, alongside rising sea waves.

Forecasts suggest that the depression will diminish by tomorrow afternoon, allowing for the advancement of high pressure. Consequently, weather conditions are anticipated to stabilize, with clouds dissipating and rain chances gradually diminishing. Daytime temperatures are expected to be warm, with mild conditions prevailing at night.

The Kuwait Meteorological Department advises residents and travelers to remain vigilant and stay updated on weather forecasts during this period of unsettled weather conditions.
