  5. Kuwait has a desert climate, hot and dry. Rainfall varies from seventy-five to 150 millimeters a year across the country; actual rainfall has ranged from twenty-five millimeters a year to as much as 325 millimeters. In summer, average daily high temperatures range from 42°C to 46°C; the highest recorded temperature is 52°C. The lowest official temperature was -4.0C at Kuwait City International Airport in January 1964. Flakes of snow were reported in some inland areas in that month. The summers are relentlessly long, punctuated mainly by dramatic dust storms in June and July when northwesterly winds cover the cities in sand. In late summer, which is more humid, there are occasional sharp, brief thunderstorms. By November summer is over, and colder winter weather sets in, dropping temperatures to as low as 0°C at night; daytime temperature is in the 15 - 20°C range. Frost rarely occurs; rain is more common and falls mostly in the winter and spring.

    Kuwait is a sovereign emirate on the coast of the Persian Gulf, enclosed by Saudi Arabia to the south and Iraq to the north and west. It has a population of 3.1 million and an area of 17,818 km².Kuwait has the world's fifth largest proven oil reserves[5] and is the ninth richest country in the world per capita.[6] Kuwait is a highly industrialized country with a GDP (PPP) of US$138.6 billion[37] and a per capita income of US$39,300[37], making it the fourth richest country in the world.[6] Kuwait's human development index (HDI) stands at 0.871, the second highest in Middle East, after Israel and the highest in the Arab world. With a GDP growth rate of 5.7%, Kuwait has one of the fastest growing economies in the region.[37] According to the 2008 Index of Economic Freedom, Kuwait has the second-most free economy in the Middle East.[38] In March 2007, Kuwait's foreign exchange reserves stood at US$213 billion.[39] The Kuwait Stock Exchange, which has about 200 firms listed, is the second-largest stock exchange in the Arab world with a total market capitalization of US$235 billion.[40] In 2007, the Kuwaiti government posted a budget surplus of US$43 billion.[41]

    Kuwait has a proven crude oil reserves of 104 billion barrels (15 km³)[37], estimated to be 10% of the world's reserves. According to the Kuwaiti constitution, all natural resources in the country and associated revenues are government property.[42] Being a tax-free country, Kuwait's oil industry accounts for 80% of government revenue. Petroleum and petrochemicals accounts for nearly half of GDP and 95% of export revenues. Increases in oil price since 2003 has caused a surge in Kuwait's economy.[43] Kuwait's current oil production of 2.8 million bpd is expected to increase to 4 million bpd by 2020.[44] To realize this production target, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation plans to spend US$51 billion between 2007 to 2012 to upgrade and expand the country's existing refineries.[45] Other major industries include shipping, construction, cement, water desalination, construction materials and financial services.[37] Kuwait's climate limits agricultural development. Consequently, with the exception of fish, it depends almost wholly on food imports. About 75% of potable water must be distilled or imported. The government is keen on decreasing Kuwait's dependence on oil to fuel its economy by transforming it into a regional trading and tourism hub. The planned US$77 billion City of Silk is the largest real estate development project in the Middle East.[39] The Central Bank of Kuwait issues Kuwait’s currency, the Kuwaiti dinar. In December 2007, the dinar was the highest valued currency unit in the world.[46]

    In 2007, estimated exports stood at US$59.97 billion and imports were around US$17.74 billion. Petroleum, petrochemical products, fertilizers and financial services are major export commodities. Kuwait imports a wide range of products ranging from food products and textiles to machinery. Kuwait's most important trading partners are Japan, United States, India, South Korea, Singapore, China, European Union and Saudi Arabia.[37] Japan is the largest customer of Kuwaiti oil followed by India, Singapore and South Korea.[47]
