Best Time To Travel To: Kuwait

Winters are generally quite mild. It only gets cool when colder winds from Iran and Iraq reach the country. Summers, on the other hand, are generally warm or hot. The stronger the wind blows from the land areas of Arabia, the hotter it gets. Peak temperatures are usually reached from June to August. Midday temperatures of up to 50° C are not uncommon. When inland temperatures are very high, sandstorms are always to be expected.

On the coastal sections, the great heat is somewhat alleviated by sea breezes, and temperatures are also somewhat lower compared to inland areas. On the other hand, the humidity is somewhat higher on the coasts, which makes the heat seem somewhat more uncomfortable.
