This week is going to start off really hot and then get super-windy, the Qatar Meteorology Department (MET) has warned. Expect temperatures to reach the mid-40s today and tomorrow.

Then on Tuesday and Wednesday, strong northwesterly winds are forecast to reach up to 35 knots (65 km/hour), dropping visibility and covering everything with dust. At this time, maximum temps will fall to the upper 30s, the MET said.
