The lowest temperature ever recorded in Qatar dropped to about 1.5°C during a rare winter cold spell.It was in in February 2017 This happened inland, away from the coast, where desert nights cool very fast.
.8 °C — 1964: The previous historic low recorded in Mesaieed before the 2017 record.
4 °C — 2025: A very cold winter morning in Abu Samra, one of the lowest that season.
6 °C — 2026: Mesaieed logged a chilly low at the start of January.
On some winter mornings, temperatures can fall to 5–8°C, which feels cold in a country built for heat. Shops suddenly sell coats, socks, heaters, and blankets, and people change their daily habits.
These cold days don’t last long, but they surprise everyone.
Even in the desert, Qatar can get cold — just quietly.
