Senior meteorologist Essa Ramadan said Kuwait is expected to be hit by unusual weather conditions in the next few days. He added that rain and thunderstorms are likely over the weekend. Ramadan said in a statement that a marine air originating from the Arabian Sea and the Arabian Gulf will reach Kuwait on Thursday, bringing increased humidity and possible accumulation of rain clouds. Ramadan explained that the wet "Marsam" season, which marks the beginning of a period of high humidity and temperature before the appearance of the Suhail star in late August, begins on Thursday.
