Qatar weather retains a unified disposition throughout the year. In other words, Qatar weather is classified as subtropical dry, hot desert with little rainfall and abundant sunshine; quite simply the sun shines virtually every day in Qatar. The inland areas of Qatar are renewed for the big difference between maximum and minimum temperatures, while coastal areas have lower maximum, but higher minimum temperatures thanks to the influence of the Red Sea.

During the long summer season (May to October) weather in Qatar is hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching a scorching 42°C. Between June and September however conditions become even worse; temperatures peaks at a numbing 50 °C and humidity is at its outmost highest, making living conditions rather unbearable. Understandably, by nightfall temperatures drop sufficiently. While for locals this is a much needed relief, for those unaccustomed to the peculiarities of Qatar weather the change is only slightly noticeable as conditions remain rather warm. Summers in Qatar are also typified by the occurrence of the chamal, a violent and dusty wind that often changes into sandstorms.

Temperatures drop considerably during spring (April and beginning of May) and autumn (October and November), hovering around 17 °C. Although still warm and dry, conditions during spring and autumn are rather pleasant.

Qatar’s short winter season commences in December and ends in February. Qatar weather is considerably milder and temperatures retain a significantly more comfortable disposition. Winter is also the time when Qatar receives the bulk of its little rainfall, most of it coming in the form of sudden, short but heavy cloudbursts and thunderstorms. On an average, Qatar receives a meager 3 inches (75 mm) precipitation per year.
