Goodbye, humidity.

Hello, dust storms.

Expect Qatar to get hotter and grittier over the next two days as temperatures jump and visibility drops, the Qatar Meteorology Department has said.

Forecasters say the mercury is expected to jump 3 to 6 degrees Celsius and hit 48C (118F) by Friday, the Peninsula reports.

Wind speeds will also increase, gaining momentum tomorrow and contributed to a drop in visibility until tomorrow afternoon, the MET said.

Brace yourselves for bad hair/hijab days, all!
