Doha, Qatar - The Qatar Meteorology Department has predicted the potential for rain and thunderstorms across parts of the country, forecasted to occur between today and next Wednesday. The department posted this information on its website and social media.
Rain is expected to begin today, October 11, and could continue until October 14, with thunder potentially accompanying the rain on Tuesday. This phenomenon is part of a natural weather pattern known as Al-Haqban, which typically precedes the Al-Wasmi season.
During this period, scattered rain showers may occur, with thunder at times. The department explained that clouds form when the sea breeze from the eastern coast intersects with the sea breeze from the western coast over central areas of Qatar. This, combined with strong downdraft winds, leads to dust being blown and reduced visibility.
