EMPIRICAL REGRESSION-MODELS FOR WEATHER DATA MEASURED IN KUWAIT DURING THE YEARS 1985, 1986, AND 1987

Monthly average daily measurements over a three-year period ( 1985-1987) for eight weather parameters are reported. The computed three-year averages of total yearly global radiation, diffuse radiation, hemispherical global infrared radiation. and global UV radiation were 1,939.08, 696.82, 3,144.30, and 87.78 kWh/m2, respectively. Further. employing least-squares linear regression analysis, empirical fits expressing the monthly average daily measurements as a function of month of the year were developed for seven weather parameters.
