Kuwait City in March

Great time to visit

March offers the last gasp of Kuwait's tourist season. Weather remains lovely but you can sense summer lurking around the corner.

Weather

March marks the last hurrah of comfortable weather before summer's grip tightens. Days warm up noticeably but evenings remain pleasant for outdoor strolls along the Corniche. Humidity creeps up to around 60%, and occasional spring showers refresh the air.

All Months

November through March offers the only bearable weather. Temperatures hover around 25°C, perfect for walking around souks and outdoor dining. This is peak season, so hotel prices jump 40% and popular restaurants require reservations. April gets tricky as temperatures climb toward 35°C. Mornings stay pleasant, but afternoons become uncomfortable for outdoor activities. Pool weather begins, and hotel rates start dropping. May through October is brutal. We're talking 45°C+ with humidity that makes breathing feel like work. Everything moves indoors to air conditioning. But here's the upside: hotel rates plummet by 60%, and you'll have museums and malls mostly to yourself. Ramadan affects the entire rhythm of the city. Restaurants close during daylight hours, and the pace slows considerably. But evenings come alive with iftar celebrations and late-night shopping. Check dates before booking – they shift annually. Sandstorms hit unpredictably between March and June. When they strike, visibility drops to meters and flights get cancelled. Pack a mask and stay flexible with outdoor plans.
