Forum posters consistently name November through March, or even into early April, as the best window to visit Kuwait - genuinely more comfortable weather for beach time and exploring open-air areas, with the open markets' shaded walkways specifically recommended for evenings during this cooler season. Posters are direct that summer (May through September) should be avoided if possible, with temperatures capable of shooting well above 50C, an extreme most visitors would find genuinely unbearable.

- Holiday
Ramadan
25 Jan – 25 Mar · usuallyClosuresWorking hours are cut by law and eating in public in daylight is an offence, so the city is genuinely shut until sunset. Then the diwaniyas, the tents and the restaurants run until three in the morning. Source ↗
- Festival
Girgian
5 Feb – 15 Mar · usuallyRamadan & EidThe middle nights of Ramadan, when children go door to door in embroidered dress collecting sweets and nuts. It is the warmest thing in the Kuwaiti year and entirely a neighbourhood affair. Source ↗
- Holiday
National and Liberation Days
23–27 FebNational holidayCrowdedClosuresThe 25th and 26th of February shut the country and turn the Gulf Road into a rolling water fight — foam, hoses and traffic at walking pace for two days. Nothing else in the region looks like it. Source ↗
- Season
Desert camping season
1 Nov – 15 Mar · usuallyTrail seasonKuwaiti families put up serviced tent camps in the desert south and west of the city for the whole cool season, and much of social life moves out there at weekends.
