We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The chance that a given day will be muggy in Kuwait is increasing during the summer, rising from 2% to 10% over the course of the season.

The lowest chance of a muggy day during the summer is 1% on June 21.

For reference, on October 24, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 16% of the time, while on February 3, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.

The average hourly wind speed in Kuwait is gradually decreasing during the summer, decreasing from 11.2 miles per hour to 10.6 miles per hour over the course of the season.

For reference, on June 26, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 13.4 miles per hour, while on October 3, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 8.7 miles per hour.

The highest daily average wind speed during the summer is 13.4 miles per hour on June 26.

Kuwait is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.

The average surface water temperature in Kuwait is increasing during the summer, rising by 7°F, from 82°F to 89°F, over the course of the season.

The highest average surface water temperature during the summer is 89°F on August 18.

Definitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere).

Temperatures in Kuwait are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F.

The average accumulated growing degree days in Kuwait are very rapidly increasing during the summer, increasing by 3,256°F, from 2,965°F to 6,221°F, over the course of the season.

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands.
