Qatar’s weather is about to get wild. The Meteorology Department says thundery rain will roll in on Saturday, August 9, 2025, packing strong southeasterly to northeasterly winds that could gust up to 35 knots. The wind and blowing dust may slash visibility in some spots, so driving conditions could get tricky.

Hot, Humid, and Hazy

Even with the rain, temperatures will stay hot to very hot, paired with sticky humidity. Coastal areas will see choppier seas, with waves hitting between 2 and 5 feet — so maybe skip that beach day.
