Doha: The seasonal hot dry wind season has started today and will last for two weeks, Qatar Calendar House (QCH) posted on their Twitter account.
The seasonal hot dry wind, which affects most parts of the Arabian Peninsula, locally known as ‘Simoom’, is a very hot and dry wind, usually accompanied by rising temperatures, and is one of the most famous monsoon winds to blow over the Arabian region.
Qatar Calendar House said that this condition will last for 2 weeks until July 29, 2022.
The name is derived from the harmful effects it causes on plants and humans where the extreme condition causes difficulty in visibility and also may cause sunstroke because of heat.
