Kuwait is located in the Northeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula, The land is flat, the sandy Arabian desert covers most of Kuwait.

Like all sand deserts, it radiates the heat, water vapor in the atmosphere acts to trap long wave inferred radiation from the ground, and dry desert air is incapable of blocking sunlight during the day (due to absence of clouds) or trapping hear during the night. Thus, during daylight most of the sun's heat reaches the ground.

However, this is not the only reason why Kuwait is especially hot. The geographical location of Kuwait is perfect for winds; the hot winds blow across the Saharan desert in Africa, then across the gulf nations, then finally north. These winds then clash with the hot winds blowing north in to the Arabian gulf from the Indian ocean, as well as this, the the winds blowing south, down from Europe, across Turkey then Iraq. Clashing in Kuwait, This forms circulating hot air pressure across the nation. The flat lands and the mountains in southern Iraq restrict movement of the winds.

Ultimately all these factors contribute to high heat of Kuwait.
