People were left shivering as the city and its outskirts witnessed a sudden cold spell accompanied by strong and dusty winds late evening yesterday.
A forecaster from the Met Office told The Peninsula that the phenomenon resulted from the unstable weather that country has been going through since Saturday.
“The temperature now stands 17 degrees Celsius and the visibility is 1,500 metres. The strong Northwesterly wind, now blowing at a speed of 15 to 16 knots has made the night colder. The visibility is expected to slip to a minimum 1,000 metres later in the night, while the temperature is likely to dip further upto a minimum 13 degrees Celsius," he said at 9.20 pm yesterday. There is also chances of scattered rain in the Northern parts of the country today.
"The unstable weather has resulted from the high pressure that the region has been going through after a brief period of low pressure," said the forecaster.

This condition is expected to prevail throughout this week, with chances of temperature dipping further. The western and northern parts of the country may experience extreme weather conditions due the impact of the strong Northwesterly wind blowing from Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Kuwait remains the worst hit by the cold spell, he added.
Meanwhile, news about the extreme weather in Kuwait has created concern among a section of the Qatari community. Friends and families were exchanging mobile messages yesterday warning about strong winds and advising not to send children outside.
The Met Office however said there is no reason for panicking for people in Qatar.
“The temperature may dip for another two to three degrees Celsius in the coming three days but it is expected to go up again after this week, with an expected change in the direction of the wind," said the forecaster.
The weather would remain dusty and partly cloudy today but the visibility is expected to improve after the early morning hours. Though scattered rains are predicted today in the northern parts of the country, the forecaster said, the unstable weather makes the situation complicated. Rains have so far eluded the country, although there were unconfirmed reports about a light drizzle in some parts of the country on Friday evening.
The Northwesterly wind is expected to blow at 10 to 20 knots today reaching 25 knots inshore and offshore. The minimum temperature expected today is 13 degrees Celsius and the maximum 19 degrees Celsius.
The maximum recorded yesterday was 23 degrees Celsius with chances of dipping up to 13 degrees Celsius in the late hours of the night. ..............
