TOO COLD!
By suryaiswar •
Hi i'm new to qatar- living. hey has anyone wondered why its so damn cold at this time of the year like never before. i mean sure winter is expected at this time but what abt the rains, we used to have occasional showers or mayb 1 or 2 heavy downpours.the rains this year are a littel too frequent if u ask me.
and why is it so hard to get a driver's license here? i hear all this chitchat about how hard the tests are and how very few chances u have to pass. if anyone's got their license recently, tell me how hard it was and whats in store for me...
hey pothole, i might give the dinner date idea some serious thot!!! hey but seriously, what do the points mean!!

Well, me too presently I’m in Canada waiting for my visa....Planning to flight over Doha in January...I'm from Montreal, until now the coldest day was like -12 c....every body is pissed off here….. It’s too warm at this period of year.
I'm stuck in Canada waiting for my visa was -32C two weeks ago so I hardly feel bad for you :-)

6 celcius is about 40 farenheit. Yep...I dont think I wil miss Irish winters....although Qatar summers sound a litle daunting. I guess you can't have everything.
What you class as cold?
Anything that is lower than 70 or 110 degrees for DOHA.
For November and December, the average, low temperature, that I register in my weather mate station was, so far during night hours 59-62 degrees, but the wind chill factor made it feel in the 50's.
Daytime period without the rains is average about 70-80 in a sunny day, If, it rains , expect the humidity level, to go up and temperatures to drop. You won't feel the humidity like in the summer.

I am currently in Ireland but moving to Qatar in March. The weather here is deplorable. We have a high temp today of 6 Degrees Celcius. I can't wait to move to some better weather.
let me take a wild guess.
u are a ex MES or Ideal student.

like u said han19, it usually gets too cold somewhere in jan. with the rest of the months being comparitively pleasant. i was born and raised at qatar and did my college in india for the past 4 years so i've kinda lost track of the dramatic changes taking place in qatar save for the phenomenal asian games preps. i didn't expect the weather to get freezing at this time. ofcourse rains are always a blessing in this otherwise arid land that still has its own beauty in its own natural way..

I'm loving this weather. I read somewhere that it's the La Nina effect due to global warming and all.
it was this cold 2 years back too but not for too long though.
it rained earlier 2 years back too.
last year was considerably warmer.
global warming..this trend will continue around the world.
how long have u been here?
winters used to start in oct a couple of year back and wud last till feb or march.
past few winters have actaully been plesant weather and the only time it wud really be cold would be 2 weeks in jan and then back to pleasant weather.
this is a blessing.love the rains but its still no fun bcos people dont have the habit of walking about in the city unlike in india.

believe it, the rains are a blessing. have never felt this good in doha.
about the driving license issue, the "doha driving school" out by kharitiat is pretty good. i have a couple of friends who have gotten their license after having lessons there. don't have the number for it, but i'm sure you could get it from 180 (qtel directory service).
