Comparatively, temperatures in March are noticeably higher than in the previous month, February, with the minimum average temperature increasing by about 3°C (37.4°F). March serves as a prelude to the approaching summer, and temperatures will continue to rise into April, paving the way for the extremely hot conditions characteristic of the Qatari summer.

Average rainfall is around 15mm (0.59"), and these rain events are brief and scattered. Despite the decrease in rainfall, the majority of the month remains sunny, setting the stage for the impending dry summer season.

Doha experiences weather patterns similar to the rest of the country. Temperatures in the capital range from 20°C (68°F) to 27°C (80.6°F), and the city's coastal location ensures a higher level of humidity. This increase in humidity can cause the air to feel warmer than the actual temperature, particularly during the day. Despite the rising temperatures, March remains a comfortable month to visit Doha before the extreme summer heat sets in.
