Watermelon & Halloumi cheese - summer recipes


As it’s watermelon season, I’d like to share two salad recipes I found online.
The first one involves frying some halloumi cheese and using basil leaves to sprinkle over the salad, with a drizzle of honey on top.
The second version grills the cheese and also adds chili oil, mixing watermelon and cucumber to create a more complex dressing with vinegar and sesame oil — perfect for those who dare to explore bolder flavors.

Summer rain in Qatar August 9 2025 - video

 


 ☀️ Summer rain in Qatar, while still quite rare, has been recorded occasionally in recent years, including just yesterday and in past summers. Typically, Qatar’s climate is extremely dry during summer, but brief, light rain showers can happen sporadically—usually just a few times every few years.

🌧️ In general, summer rain events in Qatar are very infrequent, happening maybe once or twice during the entire summer season, often linked to unusual weather patterns or regional climate variations. So although rare, summer rain is not impossible and can occur every few years.
