Best time to visit Kuwait

Post new topic

November to April is the best time to visit Kuwait when day temperatures come down to 18º C and nights are colder. If you are visiting in summer, it is important to stay away from direct sunlight as much as possible. Sunstroke, severe sunburn and dehydration are potential hazards. Drink a lot of fluids to make up for the vital body salts you will lose through perspiration. Initially, you will feel fatigued and even drowsy on occasions until your body adjusts to Kuwaits summer. A prickling sensation on the skin and abnormal fatigue usually means dehydration and must be treated immediately.

Kuwait has a typical desert climate and summer (April, May, June, August and September) is very hot. Between July and October it can be very humid and unpleasant with the onset of the southeasterly winds. Occasional rain falls between November and April. Rainfall is light and about six inches on an average. It is quite pleasant in winter when day temperatures go down to 18º C and nights are cold. Kuwait has dust storms (called tauz) usually in spring and late summer. During the tauz season it is a good idea to keep your room and car doors closed. If you are visiting Kuwait in summer, stay away from direct sunlight as much as possible. Sunstrokes and severe burns may occur if you ignore this precaution. Onset of dehydration is characterized by abnormal fatigue, drowsiness and a prickly sensation on the skin. Take a lot of fluids to replace the body salts you will lose through excessive perspiration. Almost everyone will face fatigue and drowsiness till the body adjusts to the heat of Kuwait in summer.
