Traffic Authority Extends Grace Period for Expired Vehicle Registrations

 


    The traffic authorities are giving extra time to people whose car registrations have expired.

  • Normally, there is a legal period to fix your expired registration.

  • If you missed that period, you are now allowed an extra 60 days to make your registration valid again.

  • This extra time starts on a specific date announced by the authorities.

✅ In short: If your car registration expired and you missed the normal deadline, you now have 2 more months to sort it out without extra penalties.

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.
