According to a tweet published by the Qatar Meteorology Department, Qatar is expected to be affected by a state of atmospheric instability due to an extension of a low pressure over the region starting from 12 April 2020 and may last till the end of the week.

Skies are expected to be partly cloudy to cloudy at certain times with a chance of rain of variable intensity becoming thundery at times, accompanied with strong wind and hail in some areas.

The prevailing wind will be southeasterly to northeasterly moderate to fresh reaching strong speeds at times especially during thunderstorms causing rising dust and low visibility in some areas, as well as high waves exceeding 8 feet offshore.

In addition, temperatures are expected to drop slightly during this period becoming around their normal average for April.

The Qatar Meteorology Department urges everyone to be cautious, avoid all marine activities and follow the latest updates through its official social media accounts as this transitional period is known for fast weather fluctuations.
