Average summer high temperatures are above 45 °C for three months of the year, and during heat waves; the daytime temperature regularly exceeds 50 °C with nighttime lows often remaining above 30 °C. In winter, nighttime temperatures frequently drop below 8 °C. Considering its coastal position and relative distance to the equator in comparison with the hot desert climates in Africa and Saudi Arabia, the heat in the city is rather extreme—being surrounded in almost every direction by the hot desert. **Who acts:** Average summer high temperatures, daytime temperature, nighttime temperatures, 8 ° C., direction · **What happens:** be, exceed, remain, drop, consider, surround · **To what, where:** 45 ° C, 50 ° C, 30 ° C., coastal position This is a sentence of the English Wikipedia article «Kuwait City».
