It rained this morning.. Yes. I mean rain!!!! You may ask what is the big deal? It is a big deal if you live in the Middle East..We have not seen any kind of rain for the last 6 months since we are here. And today, it rained. It has been a wet Friday today. Change of weather condition from hot in summer, cold in winter & wet in Jan... Fantastic!!!

The rain was not as heavy as in Malaysia. It is enough to satisfy our crave for wet day in the Middle East.. According to the more experience people in Doha, the rain marks the beginning of cold weather. Last year the temperature dropped drastically after the rain. Heaters were out of stock in all supermarkets.. It will not happen happen again this year. Heaters are flooding the supermarkets today..

See news on Gulf Times on the weather forecast for the next days here.
