First drop of Doha rain

I was walking at the Aspire Academy when the first drop of rain fell. Luckily, I had my camera with me as it was a family outing evening. Here is it, Doha's first rain. Do you see a droplet of water on the left bottom side of the picture?

Can't wait for the winters to arrive!

Great picture Wanderer....

Hotcake...always heard swimming in the rains is an experience but never tried it....

Sandee ....in Doha you will freeze even if it is 20 degree because of the wind.....just wait another 15 days....

Will there be a "Doha in the rains" photo competition? Hope there is!......
