KUWAIT: Astronomy expert Adel Al-Marzouq said the central Arabian Peninsula and the coast overlooking the Arabian Gulf will witness a rise in atmospheric pressure in the next 10 days. There will be hotspots, which will be distributed to the south, with atmospheric pressure ranging between 1013 to 1018 millibars.
"We are closer to the presence of the Sudanese depression that blows with the western winds, and the possibility of its presence in the coming period is great," he said, adding that this situation led to fluctuating winds - most of them comprising of southern winds shifting to south eastern winds called 'Al-Koss winds'. This is expected to continue until the middle of next month.
Clouds are expected to multiply in the sky and will cover the entire Kuwait - ranging from cloudy to partly cloudy until the mid of November - with almost 7% chance of rain and high humidity. He stated that the weather (during the coming days) will be slightly hot - between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius at night and higher in the day (between 36 and 40 degrees Celsius). The summer is expected to continue until the middle of next month. The winter may be delayed and may begin from December.
"During this period, nights will continue to be long, and days will remain shorter. Daylight tomorrow is expected to be around 11 hours and will continue until December 21. This indicates the beginning of winter and Capricorn, which begins with the sun being at perpendicular to the sign of Capricorn-located south of the equator. Moreover, the sun will be in the direction of Qibla at 2pm," Al-Marzouq added.
