Doha: A state of atmospheric instability is expected to affect the country from Thursday until Saturday, January 9 to 11, 2020, due to the extension of a low-pressure system over the region, Qatar Meteorology Department (QMD) said in its weather report.
“Cloud amount is expected to increase gradually with a chance of scattered rain of variable intensity, which could become thundery at times, in some areas,” QMD added.
The mercury will dip further at night and early morning and minimum temperature is expected to hover below 10°C in some southern areas for the first time during this season.
Due to unsettled weather conditions the department continued with the marine warnings until Tuesday.
“Fresh to strong Northwesterly wind is expected from Friday, January 10, 2020, with gusts exceeding 35 kt offshore causing wave height to exceed 10 ft. Therefore, kindly avoid going to sea due to unsettled weather conditions from Thursday, January 9 with continued marine warnings until Tuesday, January 14,” QMD said.
Cold weather condition is expected to accompany Northerly winds especially at night and early morning with a noticeable drop in temperature.
