Doha
The Qatar Meteorology Department on Monday said the onset of Wasmi season will start in the country next Friday (October 16).
Wasmi season is the local term for rain season, during which the country witnesses a drop in temperatures, winds, storms and rainfall for 52 days.
The rainfall during this season also helps certain local plants such as helianthemum and geranium grown. During this period, clouds move from west to east, and rainfall in the beginning of the season is usually an indication of a good rainy season.
Climate records indicate that maximum temperatures decrease gradually in Doha during this season to reach less than 35 degree Celsius and minimum temperatures fall to about 20 degree Celsius, with overall mild temperatures during daytime and relatively cool temperatures at night, especially with dry northwesterly winds.
Flu and other seasonal diseases are common during this transitional period. Experts recommend taking flu vaccinations, washing hands regularly and avoiding direct contact with infected people.
