Yesterday rain in Qatar

 Qatar experienced light to moderate showers 🌧️ with brief thundery bursts ⚡ that refreshed the typically dry climate. The day showcased beautiful, spring-like weather in Doha 🌸 with temperatures between 16°C and 18°C 🌡️, while coastal areas faced strong winds 🌬️ and high waves 🌊. Although the rain was welcome, it hasn’t rained much recently, making this rare drizzle a cherished treat.


Qatar Open tennis match, play was briefly halted in the opening set as a light shower hit the court 🎾🌧️. Additionally, various outdoor community events and sports practices were momentarily delayed, showing that even in typically dry Qatar, unexpected rain can temporarily disrupt planned activities ⏱️🌦️.




Qatar’s climate is extremely dry, with rain mostly confined to the winter months. In Doha, for example, you can expect roughly 9–10 days of measurable rainfall (using a 1 mm threshold) per year, resulting in an annual total of about 70–75 mm.
