It’s actually forecast to be a rainy week… the first time I have seen rain or indeed clouds for at least eight months. Rather than removing dust from my windscreen, the wipers have actually been turned on to swish away water.

The temperature has dropped to 24C. We have turned the air-con off. I am wearing a sweatshirt over my t-shirt. I am cold. Anyone you speak to in Qatar who comes from a hot country thinks this is the best weather ever!
