The ongoing cold spell is expected to continue in the coming days and there is also a chance of scattered rain in some places, the Qatar Met department has said.
The minimum temperature dropped to 9C in parts of the country Monday, and similar conditions have been forecast for Tuesday as well.
The Met department has also issued a warning for strong winds in some places around midday Tuesday, while offshore areas, too, are likely to see windy conditions along with high seas.
In a report Monday, the Met department said the wintry conditions affecting the country are expected to continue during the coming days, especially at night and early in the morning, with some southern areas recording a minimum temperature below 10C.
