Imagine you are standing in front of an industrial heater while someone is throwing fine sand into the hot stream of air… that was Doha weather yesterday.

The temperature was 40C, sand swirled across roads and my car will probably be covered with a fine layer of dust even though it is in the underground car park. We could not see West Bay from our windows.

This morning just after dawn the dust had settled, although now four hour later, the view is again obscured.
