KUWAIT CITY, Jan 14: The acting Director of the Meteorological Department, Dhirar Al-Ali, reported that the nation encountered overcast skies on Wednesday alongside airborne particles, which led to diminished line-of-sight. Al-Ali told the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) that meteorological charts and computational simulations suggest the region will be influenced by a prolonged high-pressure ridge joined by a frigid and arid air mass.
This will bring gentle to steady northwesterly breezes spanning 10 to 35 kph over the coming five days. These chilly gusts will trigger a significant plunge in mercury levels to under 3°C, specifically in rural and wilderness zones, with the potential for ground ice developing in those locations.
