According to a forecaster, weather condi- tions here are largely dependent on wind direction. If the wind blows from the south- ern regions, the mercury rises two to three degrees Celsius, as is happening now. The wind today is blowing from the southeast. However, when the wind changes direction and is north-westerly, it brings along chill and the temperature drops, said the forecaster. “The winter isn’t over yet.” The maximum temperature these days is between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius, depend- ing on the area in the country, while the minimum ranges between 13 and 17 degrees Celsius. In Doha, the maximum today is fore- cast at 27 degrees, and the minimum at 17 degrees. Abu Samra, located near Qatar’s border with Saudi Arabia, and which recently wit- nessed the coldest days and nights during the last chilly spell, will have a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a low of 13 degrees today, the forecast said. Al Khor in the north, on the other hand, is expected to have day temperatures run- ning up to 26 degrees Celsius today, while at night the mercury will drop to 14 degrees. The forecast for Al Wakra is a noon tem- perature of 25 degrees Celsius and a mini- mum of 15 degrees.

  • Stratigraphy, Micropaleontology, and Paleoecology of the Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar
    GeoArabia, Vol. 7, No. 1, 2002 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar Stratigraphy, micropaleontology, and paleoecology of the Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar Hamad Al-Saad and Mohamed I. Ibrahim University of Qatar ABSTRACT The Miocene carbonate Dam Formation is well exposed in the Jebel Al-Nakhash area of southern Qatar. Three sections were measured in a detailed investigation of the Formation’s stratigraphy, micropaleontology, and paleoecology. This biostratigraphic and paleoecologic study was supported by the analysis of microlithofacies and foraminiferal assemblages. Microfossils are predominantly benthic foraminifera represented by 38 species, many of which are milioline and one is a larger form. A Borelis melo melo Local Range Zone of Early Miocene (Burdigalian) age was recognized. The nature and distribution of the benthic foraminiferal assemblage, in association with lithofacies evidence, indicated a general shoaling-upward trend. The Dam Formation was stratigraphically subdivided into two new formal members. The basal Al-Kharrara Member is made up of limestone, marl, and claystone, and the overlying Al-Nakhash Member is a cyclic assemblage of carbonate, evaporite, and algal stromatolite facies. The lithofacies are grouped into four major types of which limestone, subdivided into six subfacies, is dominant. The Al-Kharrara was interpreted as having been deposited in warm (25°–30°C), clear, shallow waters of the inner neritic zone (0–35 m) that had an elevated salinity (35‰–50‰) and a vegetated substrate. The Al-Nakhash probably formed in an oscillating, very shallow-marine environment (0–10 m deep, including tidal flats), under warm climatic conditions that eventually led to the accumulation of evaporites and algal stromatolites.

Darwish); Tel. +974 44545887; email: [email protected] (A. Hassan) Received 17 April 2017; Accepted 19 July 2017 abstract Qatar is an arid land with very scarce natural freshwater resources. Its groundwater resources are lim- ited and are being heavily depleted by inefficient irrigation methods and the growing population. As a result, Qatar relies primarily on desalination of seawater. Accurate assessment of water resources, consumption levels and virtual water trade is the first step in formulating an effective water resources management policy. This paper, hence, reviews the renewable and non-renewable water resources and the disaggregated consumption trends as well virtual water trade in Qatar. The total groundwater pro- duced internally is 56 Mm3/year and its consumption rate is 250 Mm3/year which is mainly dominated by farms. The agricultural sector consumes 91% of all renewable water resources in Qatar. The total desalination capacity is 1.4 Mm3/d which is primarily from thermal desalination plants.

Despite, the estimated rise in consumer spending during 2019, retail vendors complained of contracting annual sales compared to 2018 due to increasing competition. Furthermore, there were five discernible trends: 1) In retail centres, there was an observance of a move towards providing a wholesome experience to shoppers by introducing new Food & Beverage (F&B) concepts and entertainment outlets as anchors to draw footfall 2) There was a divergence in the performance of malls, where super-regional malls performed better in terms of footfall, occupancy and lease rates when compared to smaller regional malls 3) The opening of Doha Metro stations improved accessibility to some major malls in Qatar: Mall of Qatar, Villagio, City Centre West Bay and retail outlets in close proximity to the stations, which in turn provided a boost to their footfall 4) Retailers were seen adopting aggressive promotional campaigns by offering discounts to drive revenue further 5) Increasing competition from existing and new organised shopping centres has led to a fall in demand and occupancy of street retail and showrooms which saw asking rents on average fall by 12% YoY during 2019 .02 COVID-19: What government measures impacted retail sector in Qatar? Governments and organisations continued to work towards containing the harmful effects of COVID-19 on society and businesses.
