The Qatar Meteorology Department announced that heavy rain is expected on Thursday and Friday, March 26-27, 2026, as the country is affected by unstable weather conditions caused by a deepening surface low-pressure system. This weather system is expected to increase cloud cover across the country.

The weather is forecast to be partly cloudy to cloudy, with chances of thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday. Rain intensity is expected to range from moderate to heavy in different areas.

Residents are advised to exercise caution due to the possibility of strong downdrafts, reduced horizontal visibility especially in open areas, and the potential for hail during thunderstorms. Motorists are advised to drive carefully and follow safety guidelines during rainy and stormy conditions.
