Please tell me you guys are just pulling smethers' leg so to speak...Cold in Qatar? Not a snowball's chance in hell!
I have been here for a year and half....so I was present for this last winter's (ha!) supposed cold snap. I was shocked to hear people were complaining that the Carrefour was out of heaters! Heaters?? Come on people, my Air Conditiong was turned off in ONE room of the house (and that was my new born daughter's room) for 2months! My home has this red button in the barthroom to turn on the hot water....I have never used it....the showers scald my skin here in winter and that's with the thing off...I shudder to think what turning it on would do!

Unless you come from Saudi Arabia, there is no such thing as cold in Qatar....you will be dying from heat 90% of the time, and the other 10% I'll describe as "bearable"...and that's it.

Good luck in your move to Qatar, and stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
