Wind and dust galore!



It seems like these windy conditions will never end.It has been windy and dusty for nearly two weeks now. Just when it seems the wind has died down and the skies are clear once more, the wind starts again. It's really blustery today and in some places visibilty is down to a few metres with the sand and dust blowing everywhere.Our house is right on the edge of the desert to the north of Doha so we are exposed to the strong north winds. Everything in my house is covered in fine,creamy coloured dust and we're fighting a losing battle to keep it clean!
We shouldn't complain too much as the wind is keeping the temperature down to around 37-38 C instead of around 40-44 C and the humidity levels are low which makes the heat more bearable.
To the right of my house is The Lagoon and the green area is Doha Golf Club.Qatar University is in the centre of the picture and The College of the North Atlantic is in the central,bottom area of the picture.
