While the recent downpour has drenched almost all parts of Qatar, the rainfall was especially concentrated in the northern part of the country, with Ras Laffan recording the highest amount between Sunday and Monday morning, the Qatar Meteorology Department has said.
"Rain was concentrated in the north part of the country, and the highest amount of rain was recorded in Ras Laffan, 29.2 mm," QMD tweeted on Monday.
The rain, which poured down with an intensity that is rare in this region but getting increasingly frequent in the past few years, is expected to turn into thunderstorms as the week progresses.
In its weather report for the coming days, QMD said fresh to strong northwesterly wind that is expected to sweep over Qatar until the end of the week is expected to bring the temperature down to as low as 10°C.
The period will see the maximum temperature hovering between 18°C and 24°C, and the minimum temperature between 10°C and 17°C. The temperature in the southern and outer areas might plunge below 10°C.
The fresh to strong northwesterly wind will blow at a speed ranging between 10 and 20 knots, gusting to 30 knots at places at times, leading to blowing dust that might decrease horizontal visibility to less than 2 kilometres, especially in open areas.
Offshore, the waves are likely to reach as high as 10 feet, prompting the QMD to issue marine warnings. It called on everyone to be caution and avoid marine activities during the warning period.
