More Severe Weather Coming?

In todays Kuwait Times, Kuwaiti meteorologist, Dr. Saleh Al-Ojairi is quoted as saying that “the storm occurred because of the formation of a severe depression locally known as ‘Al Sarrayat.'” The Times goes on to say the “He also predicted severe weather conditions to reoccur in the near future.”

What does ‘Al Sarrayat’ mean?

  2. Random/unpredictable powerful gusts of wind that form within a short time that leave you saying, “what in the world just happened?!”. [not actual definition]

  4. GreY, a Kuwait friend warned us to stay out of dangerous areas in the next few weeks – what areas would those be? What do you see at Marina?

    3baid – Windstorms make cats restless. QC wants to go out, he thinks he is missing something!

    Ansam – It’s a lovely word – unexpected, maybe turbulent? random? I love it.
