Rains kiss some parts of Qatar; winter is upon us!

For people living in some parts of the country, it was a joyous occasion as they got to experience the country’s first rains of the season. For those who did not get to experience it, there is still hope as more rains are expected on Thursday.

The Met department tweeted out updates about rain being reported from the northwestern parts of the country.

Light to moderate rain was detected in the central areas, with the east of Al Sheehaniya receiving most of it.

The advent of rain and fog also brings with it high risk of accidents. Prevent rash driving during rains as it is harder to brake. Similarly, if you find yourself in foggy conditions, fire up your hazard lights. However, blinking the indicators will not have the intended effect.

Enjoy the climate safely, people!

"..if you find yourself in foggy conditions, fire up your hazard lights.".

With all due respect.. Fog lights should be used - NOT hazard lights ..
