Expect the rest of the week to be a dusty, windy and hot mess in Qatar.

Starting today, local meteorologists are forecasting an increase in windspeed of up to 23 knots (43km/hour), thanks to the deepening of an Indian Monsoon front over the Gulf.

In a statement, the Qatar Meteorology Department has warned residents to expect winds to be particularly strong this afternoon, but decrease in intensity at night.
