The Qatar Meteorological Department announced that the scorching summer in Qatar will enter its final phase with the rising of the star Al-Nathrah on August 11, 2026. This star rise points to a 13-day transition period that is considered the last phase of the scorching heat. During this time, the country will continue to experience extremely hot and humid weather. In addition, winds will mainly be felt from the north during these days.

Although the heat will continue, there will soon be a change that will provide relief to those suffering from the summer heat. Halfway through the 13-day period of Al-Nathrah, the famous star Suhail will be visible in the night sky. The star Suhail is historically considered a sign of weather change throughout the Gulf region. Its presence indicates that the scorching heat will gradually begin to subside. This will bring more moderate and comfortable weather to the people in the coming weeks.
