May weather forecast
Kuwait

May marks the onset of intense heat in Kuwait, signifying a transition towards the peak summer months. During May, the average daytime temperature can reach a scorching 35°C (95°F). Nights, although somewhat cooler, are still warm, with temperatures typically around 24°C (75.2°F).

Compared to April, May sees a substantial rise in temperature, especially during the day. This substantial warming effect can be felt across the country, but especially in inland desert areas like Jahra, where temperatures may even surpass the average.

Rainfall in May is almost non-existent, contributing to the arid conditions that are characteristic of Kuwait's desert climate. Dust storms may also occur, typically when warm, dry winds blow across the desert landscape, but clear skies are still the norm for the majority of the month.

As Kuwait transitions into June, the temperatures continue to rise even further. June is the start of the peak summer period in Kuwait, and it ushers in a period of extreme heat that lasts until September. The warm nights and scorching days of May serve as a precursor for the even more intense heat to come.
