Abstract
In the present work, yearly, monthly and daily correlations are provid ed for the maximum, average and minimum global solar radiation in Kuwa it. The correlations are based on data pertaining to global solar radi ation received by the horizontal plane over the period 1974-1994. The data were fitted by both polynominal and sinusoidal correlations. The conclusions drawn from these correlations are discussed in connection with local weather conditions in Kuwait.
