Default Rate the climate - Kuwait City

Kuwait City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One of the worst climates I've ever seen.. but I give it an E-.. summers are insanely hot and it is wayyyy too dry to even begin to compensate.

Although, like for Melbourne, the Wikipedia stats are bullcrap. The average in the hottest month is actually 44.1C and I think the hottest low is about 29C. January highs are about 17C aswell, rather than the 19.5 shown in the wiki article.

Still, an incredible climate that ticks all the boxes, except it could use more thunderstorms. I imagine these are almost non existant.

You're right - but it's still horrific.

Hmmm...

Sunshine hours are way too high.

Precipitation is way too low.

Summer heat... AAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

Dust storms... bye bye.

I'm going to have to give this one a "Worse than hell". The summers were tailor made to be terrible for me. The winters might pull an E-, but for the six months of pure hell, this makes the worst climate on earth.

I understand you like the heat, but do you really think spending your summers with regular 50 celsius temperatures and lows above 30 ceslius is something you would LOVE?
I mean, i think you would love an all year 20c avg low/ 30c avg high kinda place, but this?? This is too much and you know it


Anyways, of course this climate is HELL, its not even an F, its a Z....i cant even begin to look at the weatherbox, i look it with one eye closed cause im afraid im gonna burn for only looking at it...

this climate is HELL

I'd take this over Mecca. At least Kuwait has somewhat of a winter.

Winters are decent, but too much of the year is just too hot. Sunshine and dryness don't help either.
