When is the best time to fly to Kuwait City?
The spring season from February to April is pleasant and cool, making it the ideal weather for travel. During this time the desert is draped with petunias. However visitors need to make sure to stay safe from the sand storms.
The hot and humid weather of the summer months from May to September, when the temperatures can reach around 49 degrees, generally keep the tourists away. However, if you think you can stand the hot conditions then this is the best time of year to find cheap flights to Kuwait City. The winter months from November to March are cool in the evenings with limited rain and pleasant weather during the day.
No matter when you book flights to Kuwait City you won’t be short of entertainment due to its calendar bursting with festivals, celebrations and events. One of Kuwait’s landmark events is their month long Hala Festvial in February which features displays of parades, shopping carnivals and cultural activities. The festival attracts over 80,000 visitors so flights to Kuwait city may be more booked up than usual.
