Meteorologist Issa Ramadan has forecast continued humid conditions in Kuwait through early September 2026 before a gradual cooling trend sets in after September 6 as the country enters its autumn transition. The Meteorology Department reported that daytime highs reached 44 degrees Celsius on September 6 with lows around 26 degrees while humidity climbed to 85 percent particularly in coastal zones where light fog formed at times. Ramadan noted that the coolest periods occur around dawn and late night offering a slight break from the heat with gentler breezes replacing the harsher summer winds.
The Al-Ujairi Scientific Center stated that September 6 marks the start of the Al-Jabha season a 13-day period signaling the beginning of autumn under traditional astronomical calendars with cooler nights and longer hours of darkness. This phase coincides with the second stage of the Suhail star season followed by the Al-Safari period in the last third of the month which the center described as a transitional window between summer and winter featuring fluctuating temperatures and possible dust storms. The center added that such shifts often bring increased bird migration and a yellowish tint to the sky at times.
According to historical averages compiled by Weather Spark fall temperatures in Kuwait City drop rapidly from average highs near 44 degrees Celsius in early September to 23 degrees by the end of November with lows falling from 29 degrees to 12 degrees over the same span. The Meteorology Department indicated that this September the decline will be gradual rather than abrupt with humidity persisting especially overnight in coastal areas before easing during daylight hours. Ramadan emphasized that residents should expect the transition to unfold slowly without sudden changes in overall weather patterns.
The Meteorology Department has tracked how the weakening Indian monsoon depression allows western weather systems to influence the region after September 6 leading to more variable winds and occasional cloud cover. Data from the department shows that early autumn nights can dip below 25 degrees in desert areas on some days while daytime readings moderate from the 45-to-50-degree extremes recorded at summer peak. These patterns align with the official definition of the hot season ending in early November followed by moderate temperatures and increased chances of rain.
Regional comparisons drawn from similar meteorological assessments in the UAE confirm that meteorological autumn commenced on September 1 across the Gulf with sustained cooling projected through November as daytime highs fall below 35 degrees in many locations. In Kuwait the Al-Ujairi Scientific Center noted that the arrival of the Sarfa star traditionally reinforces the end of extreme heat and the onset of more comfortable conditions. Such seasonal indicators have guided local expectations for generations providing context for the current shift.
Issa Ramadan told local outlets that the widening gap between daytime highs and nighttime lows during this transitional month can contribute to seasonal health effects such as allergies but overall the move away from summer brings relief after prolonged high temperatures. The Meteorology Department continues to issue daily updates forecasting hot and humid conditions in the immediate term before the full effects of the autumn transition become evident later in the month. Current observations place maximum temperatures in the 40-to-44-degree range with a clear downward trajectory established after September 6.
