The weather in Qatar is expected to remain hot and hazy throughout Tuesday, with misty conditions reported in some areas during the early hours, according to the Department of Meteorology’s daily weather forecast.

Inshore areas will experience hazy to misty conditions at first, followed by hot daytime weather with occasional haze. The Meteorology Department also noted that visibility may be reduced in some locations during the morning hours due to mist and haze.

Offshore areas are expected to see misty to foggy conditions early in the day, with hazy conditions continuing at times. Authorities have warned of poor horizontal visibility, particularly during the early hours.

Winds along the coast will be light and variable at first, gradually shifting to northeasterly to southeasterly directions at speeds ranging between 3 and 13 knots. Offshore winds will also remain variable, mainly from the northeast to southeast, with speeds between 2 and 12 knots.

Sea conditions will remain calm, with wave heights expected to range between 1 and 2 feet inshore and 1 to 3 feet offshore.

Visibility in coastal areas is forecast to be between 4 and 9 kilometres, dropping to 3 kilometres or less in some areas early in the day. Offshore visibility is expected to range between 4 and 9 kilometres, with possible reductions to 1 kilometre or less due to foggy conditions.

Temperatures across Qatar will remain high, with maximum temperatures reaching around 41°C in several areas, including Doha, Dukhan, Wakrah, Al Khor, and Ruwais. Minimum temperatures are expected to range between 26°C and 30°C.

The sun is expected to rise at 4:44 AM and set at 6:27 PM. Residents and motorists are advised to remain cautious during periods of reduced visibility.
