Kuwait City Climate

Kuwait City has a brutal hot desert climate, with summers from June to September routinely topping 45°C and occasionally nearing 50°C, often paired with the dry, dust-laden shamal winds sweeping in from the north. Rain is scarce and falls only sporadically during the mild winter (November to March), when daytime temperatures ease to 8–20°C and nights can feel surprisingly cool. Coastal humidity along the Gulf spikes in late summer, making the heat feel even more oppressive. This page offers an hourly and 14-day forecast alongside detailed metrics including humidity, wind, UV index and air quality (AQI).
