Qatar's weather bureau forecasts warm weekend

Day temperature will start rising this Thursday onwards, particularly on Friday and Saturday, Qatar Meteorology Department has said.
Peak temperature is expected on April 12, with maximum between 36 to 39 degrees Celsius and minimum between 24 to 27 degrees Celsius.
The weather bureau said the rise in temperature will be caused by an extension of the Sudan thermal low to the Gulf region associated with south-easterly wind light to moderate in speed.
On Saturday and Sunday this wind direction will become south-westerly to south-easterly moderate to fresh in speed, which might lead to blowing dust and sand.
A reduction of the horizontal visibility is also expected, the bureau said.
