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. Posters generally rate March as sitting comfortably within the pleasant, cooler season, with outdoor activities far more workable than they'd be just a couple of months later.
