Doha: Strong North-westerly winds are causing a dip in temperatures all over Qatar with apparent temperature reaching close to 10 degrees Celsius.

Qatar Meteorology Department said that the temperatures in various regions of the country range between 19-23 degrees Celsius today, while the apparent temperature (the temperature equivalent perceived by humans, caused by the combined effects of air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed) is much lower than that, as it now reached 12 degrees Celsius in Al Shehaimiya. 

The department also added that cloudy weather continues across the country with scattered rain being noticed in the northern parts.
