Unstable weather is expected to affect the country from today until Friday midday, according to the latest report by the Qatar Meteorology Department.

The weather changes have been due to the extension of a low pressure system, it has been found. Hence, chances of thundery rain are expected from early Wednesday until Friday. However, the rain is anticipated to be on its peak today.

“The prevailing winds during this period will be easterly to southeasterly and moderate to fresh becoming strong at times, especially during thunder rains which might be accompanied by strong sudden winds reaching 30 knots (about 55km/hour) leading to rise in dust and a temporary reduction in visibility to 1km or less in some areas” reports The Peninsula.

The Met office has warned the public to be cautious, especially while driving and to avoid all sea activities over the next few days.

Also, the public is advised to follow the latest weather updates and warnings on the Met department’s official pages.
