Doha: Clear to partly cloudy skies are expected to continue on Monday and Tuesday with a chance for isolated rain, Qatar Meteorology Department said in a weather report. 
Instable weather is expected to affect the country due to the passage of a low pressure system in the upper levels of the atmosphere starting from Wednesday and will reach its peak during the weekend, when atmospheric conditions become favourable for scattered rain, which could be thundery at times. 

Strong Northwesterly winds are expected to follow from Friday causing high waves and a noticeable drop in temperatures, especially early next week where minimum temperatures could drop below 15°C in central and southern areas.
