Weather Alert: Strong Winds, Dust Storms in Qatar Feb 15-16

Qatar Meteorological Department has issued a weather alert warning of strong winds, blowing dust and hazardous marine conditions across Qatar on February 15 and 16, 2026.

According to the department, the country is expected to experience fresh to strong northwesterly winds during the two-day period. These winds may stir up dust in several areas, potentially reducing horizontal visibility and affecting outdoor activities and road travel.

Authorities have also issued marine warnings, urging residents and seafarers to exercise caution at sea due to rough conditions. Strong winds are expected to create choppy waters, increasing risks for small boats and marine operations.

Residents are advised to monitor official weather updates and take necessary precautions, particularly in open areas prone to dust and along coastal zones where sea conditions may deteriorate.
