October weather forecast
Qatar

October in Qatar marks the onset of autumn, a period characterized by gradually declining temperatures from the intense summer highs. Average temperatures during the day in October can range from 29°C (84.2°F) to 36°C (96.8°F). Nighttime temperatures offer more relief, often dropping to 25°C (77°F).

When compared to the preceding month, September, and the following month, November, October sits comfortably in the transitional period. The extreme heat of September starts to give way to the more moderate temperatures of October, which further decline into November, setting the stage for the milder winter season.

Rainfall in October is still minimal, usually not exceeding 10mm (0.39"). However, it does mark the end of the prolonged dry spell of the summer months, with the desert climate beginning to see a slight uptick in precipitation. Despite the minor increase in rainfall, the majority of the month is dominated by clear, sunny days.

In Doha, the capital city, the weather pattern in October mirrors that of the rest of the country. Temperatures in Doha during October range from 29°C (84.2°F) to 36°C (96.8°F). The city's coastal position results in continued high humidity levels, potentially intensifying the perceived heat during the day. Nevertheless, with the moderating temperatures and the slight increase in rainfall, October signals the start of the more comfortable period for tourism in Doha.
