Visiting Kuwait City is most pleasant during the cooler months from November to April when the climate is mild and conducive to exploring the outdoors. The temperatures during these months range from a comfortable 18°C (64°F) to 30°C (86°F), making it an ideal time for sightseeing and enjoying the city's many attractions without the oppressive heat that characterizes the summer months. It's especially enjoyable to walk along the Corniche, visit the bustling souks, or spend time in the city’s parks and gardens during this period.
If you're interested in cultural events, the Hala February festival, which generally takes place in February or March depending on the lunar calendar, is a must-see. It includes a variety of cultural events, concerts, and shopping deals, and showcases the city’s vibrant culture. Conversely, the month of Ramadan, which also moves according to the lunar calendar, sees shorter opening hours and certain restrictions in public, but it also offers a unique chance to experience the local traditions and nightly celebrations after iftar, the breaking of the fast.
