it was my first time in the gcc and i find it so weird to see rain in desert region, and about the thunder, i think it was due to the combustion of too much heat and incoming coldness, the pea size ice is due to the cold air but wasnt turn into snow because of insufficient coldness that is why it melts so fast, but really i find it weird to rain in the desert and it was amazing

Sad, but why? Atleast in Doha, one shudn't sad. There are some places in the world where when rain falls, many houses are destroyed or flooded by water, many people became homeless, those are the places to sad, why here?

Coming from a country where it rains every other day, today was a wonderful surprise. It was nice to see rain falling gloriously from the sky and as if that wasn't enough, there was thunder and lightning too. Let us all enjoy this different kind of weather while it lasts and for those who are on the road, please be extra careful with your speed and mind the puddles of water.

I was in Villagio Mall this morning and Virgin Megastore, H&M and other store had to close because of loads of water coming into the Shops. It was extreme water and it reminds me of the 2 weeks before Asian Games in 2006 where we faced similar floods of water. And of course this was the day for me to choose the Convertible for shopping, not a good choice...
