Doha: Heavy downpour greeted Qatar residents over the last weekend of 2015, with rains and strong winds engulfing the country today.
The Qatar Metrology Department had earlier warned of an unstable weather for the weekend, and accordingly dark clouds appeared on Thursday evening. The downpour- heavy at times, continued on to Friday morning.
Taking advantage of the rainy weather on their day off, many were seen enjoying the pleasant weather with their families and friends in several places such as the Corniche, Katara and Souq Waqif.
However, residents will hope to see a better sight of roads in their areas when they wake up on Saturday. MET has said their might be more showers tomorrow, with the rains and thunder continuing in some parts of the country. The concern comes after heavy rains resulted in flooding of inroads across the country a little less than a month ago. There were also reports of leakages, vehicles breaking down and traffic delays in different parts of Qatar due to water logging.
