Doha's Climate

On a peninsula jutting into the Persian Gulf, Doha has a hot desert climate with long, brutal summers made worse by high humidity off the sea. From May to September, daytime highs commonly reach 41-45°C, and Gulf moisture can push the heat index past 50°C. Winters (December-February) are mild and pleasant, with daytime temperatures around 22-26°C, making them the best time of year; rain is scarce and falls mainly in the cooler months, sometimes alongside dusty shamal winds.
