There is a high chance of fog forming in some areas during the late night and early morning hours, which may affect horizontal visibility on external roads and highways. Some scattered clouds appear in the sky during the night, while temperatures drop sharply to very low levels.
Kuwait’s weather today indicates that the country is affected by a very cold air mass, especially at night and early morning, which leads to a significant and worrying drop in minimum temperatures to below 3 degrees Celsius in some agricultural and desert areas. This sharp decline causes frost to form on plants and agricultural crops, which may lead to major damage to farms and fields if appropriate preventive measures are not taken.
Farmers are advised to cover sensitive crops using plastic or cloth covers, turn on heating systems in greenhouses, and water plants before nightfall because water helps store heat.

Sea state in Kuwait
Today, Kuwaiti territorial waters are witnessing relatively calm and stable sea conditions with suitable conditions for most marine activities. During the day, the sea is light to moderate, with wave heights ranging between 1 and 5 feet. These are relatively moderate waves that allow commercial navigation, fishing, and water sports to be practiced with reasonable safety. All three marine stations, Ras Al-Barsha, Salmiya and Al-Julaiah, record the same wave height at 5 feet in a southeasterly direction, which reflects the influence of the southeasterly winds prevailing today.
During the night hours, the sea becomes calmer and more stable, as waves remain light to moderate, but with a lower height of only 1 to 3 feet. This decrease in wave height provides ideal conditions for night navigation and fishing, as sea movement is calm and safe. However, sailors and fishermen should be aware of the possibility of fog formation during the night and early morning hours, which may significantly affect marine visibility.
