Kuwait is currently grappling with an intense heatwave that has pushed temperatures to a staggering 51 degrees Celsius, as reported by the Kuwait Meteorological Department.
The recent spike in temperatures brings Kuwait perilously close to its all-time high of 53.5 degrees Celsius, a record that underscores the severity of this heatwave.
In response to these extreme conditions, government experts have issued urgent advisories to residents. They recommend minimizing outdoor activities, especially during the peak heat periods of midday and afternoon. Additionally, authorities stress the importance of avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining adequate hydration by drinking plenty of water, and staying vigilant against the risks of heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses.
As Kuwait confronts this challenging weather event, the collective efforts of both the government and the community are essential to ensure the well-being and safety of all residents during these unprecedented temperatures.
