Doha: Due to the movement of dust caused by the thunder cells in neighbouring countries, there is a noticeable decrease in visibility with the dusty weather condition in Qatar tweeted the Qatar Meteorological Department. 

The weather body also warned patients with respiratory diseases to take special precautions when heading out. 

Also, a maritime warning was issued until the beginning of tomorrow as the wind speed was expected to exceed 27 knots with waves ranging between 6-9 feet. 

Rain was reported in some neighbouring countries in the region by media outlets.
