DUBAI (AP) – Kuwait yesterday instituted rolling blackouts in several residential neighbourhoods despite high summertime temperatures in the desert emirate.
The state-run KUNA news agency blamed “a fuel supply disruption” for the blackouts, which shut down desalination plants and some power stations.
The forecast high for Kuwait yesterday was 43 degrees Celsius (°C). Weather forecasters warned it could feel like 53°C, with poor air quality as well.
