DOHA: The Department of Meteorology has issued its daily weather report, indicating a shift in temperatures for Friday. Inshore weather is expected to start off misty to foggy, gradually transitioning to moderate temperatures during the day, ultimately reaching relatively hot conditions.
Offshore conditions will mirror those inshore, beginning misty to foggy but improving to fine weather later in the day. Similar to inshore forecasts, poor horizontal visibility is cautioned for the initial period.
Wind patterns are predicted to be variable inshore, later settling into mainly northeasterly to southeasterly directions with speeds ranging from 5 to 15 knots. Offshore wind will follow a similar pattern, starting as variable before becoming easterly to northeasterly, also at speeds of 5 to 15 knots.
Visibility concerns persist both inshore and offshore, with ranges expected to be between 4 to 8 kilometers initially, dropping to 2 kilometers or less in certain areas.
In terms of sea state, inshore conditions are anticipated to range between 1 to 5 feet, while offshore sea states are expected to be slightly calmer, ranging from 2 to 4 feet.
