So far, night temps have been relatively high for this time of year, Steff Gaulter, senior meteorologist for Al Jazeera English, told Doha News.
But beginning Thursday night, the thermometer could fall from 19C (66F) to as low as 15C or 14C (57F). “Together with the wind, that will feel rather cool,” she added.
According to Weather.com, the week’s daytime highs will hover around 27C (80F) until Friday, when the warmest it will get is 19C (67F).
