Qatar Space Official on Summer Rains
The article explains that summer rainfall in Qatar is a natural phenomenon associated with high humidity and cloud formation, and it is not related to climate change. The region has experienced heavy rains before as part of recurring weather patterns. Sheikh Salman bin Jaber Al Thani pointed out that high rainfall and temperatures between 47 and 50 degrees Celsius are normal, and the appearance of the star Sufl (Onion Star) reflects the beginning of the monsoon season, which aims to prepare the land and promote plant growth. He also emphasized the importance of studying long-term climate data to assess climate changes rather than relying on individual cases. He affirmed that recurring weather phenomena do not necessarily indicate negative climate change. He explained that the Perseid meteor shower, which occurs annually when Earth passes through the dust stream from comet Swift-Tuttle, requires monitoring especially in wilderness areas. The meteor rate during this shower can reach 60-100 meteors per hour, often with spectacular fireballs, and the event typically occurs on the nights of August 11, 12, and 13.
