Starting tomorrow, October 16, 2026, Qatar will enter the Al-Wasmi season, which will last for 52 days. According to the Qatar Meteorology Department, this period brings milder daytime temperatures and cooler nights, as well as increased cloud activity and the growth of wild vegetation, including truffles. The Al-Wasmi season is particularly beneficial for residents and farmers who typically plant crops such as alfalfa, legumes, and vegetables, while date palm cultivation continues.
The season kicks off with Al-'Awwa, the fourth star phase of autumn, lasting for 13 days. This period is also known for the growing number of migratory birds spotted across the region.
