Some parts of Kuwait were left without electricity on Wednesday as a power outage exacerbated the scorching summer conditions, while emergency teams were hard at work to restore power to the affected areas.
The country’s ministry of electricity and water blamed soaring temperatures, which have skyrocketed to some 52 degrees Celsius, for the power cuts, calling on the general public to limit consumption during peak hours in order to ensure uninterrupted supply.
