Let me point out one thing, these certain type of clouds come rarely in the form that we have seen the past week, for it to form again and hit Kuwait city again is a very weak probability. These clouds form in seconds and are hard to predict especially that Kuwait is not covered with weather pressure censor every few miles. Hence cut down the rumors please. Thank you

could be just like last week’s rumour

I hope this isn’t some bored person making up rumors…. Don’t blame him/her at all, if we had anything better to do in Kuwait there wouldn’t be so many rumors… :S

well time now 3.25 …but yes some members of my staff were saying early afternoon and even asked could they leave early!
clouds are forming now, it is getting dusty..and the temperature went up and has since dropped.. feels humid and air smells strange

How is “Taco Time coming back” a related entry?

I can imagine after eating too many bean burritos for lunch, there would be strong wind at 2pm or 4pm too!
14. MYK | April 17th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

ETA, T minus 23 minutes.
15. Teachers' View | April 17th, 2008 at 3:39 pm

u know what, if it comes, we will only know three – five minutes max before hand…. if like last time, sky will go black, then will come the dust, then the wind….then the rain and hail….. just be careful everyone.

http://www.q8weather.com – he has a weather warning on his website but perhaps he is just trying to cover his ass.
16. 3azeez | April 17th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

Told you guys, he’s just saving his arse in case it happens again while he’s taking the weekend off.

Better to say there’s a storm when there isn’t, than give the all-clear then watch the devastation unfold.
20. rejoys | April 17th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

its a bit windy
thats all
21. Teachers' View | April 17th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

22. nxman | April 17th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

so talking about storms and predicting them is the new fad?
34. Mishaal Al Roomi | April 18th, 2008 at 1:23 am

First, lovely blog, Second, Yes, the dusty conditions is the storm. Dust is very dense with visibility not more than 200m in areas, there was a few lightning strikes towards SW Kuwait. So we got the dust storm this time not the thunderstorm. -Mishaal Al Roomi
35. rejoys | April 18th, 2008 at 6:44 am

dust dust & dust all over
all tabletops are covered with a thin layer of fine dust
36. Teachers' View | April 18th, 2008 at 11:23 am

it’s still dusty – is this going to go on for long?
