Yesterday, rain was observed in certain parts of northern and western Qatar, according to reports from the Qatar Meteorology Department (QMD). The department had previously cautioned that the rain could be thundery. QMD informed the public through their X account that rain was reported in various regions, urging people to take necessary precautions, especially in areas impacted by thunderstorms and strong winds.
Social media platforms were filled with images and videos of rainfall in Guwairiya and along the Jumailiya-Guwairiya road in northern Qatar. Additionally, accounts from southwestern parts of Qatar documented thundery rain and lightning, while Al Atouriya area also experienced rainfall. These observations followed a forecast by QMD, predicting a chance of thundery rain in some areas, coupled with strong winds.
The Qatar News Agency further supported these observations by publishing a weather graphic based on QMD's forecast, which emphasized the potential for thundery showers and strong winds along the coast. Despite the widespread reports, no confirmed rain was found in Doha, Al Khor, or Al Wakra.
