Qatar has a dry, subtropical desert climate with low annual rainfall and intensely hot and humid summers. The best months to visit Qatar are November to early April. Such climatic conditions allow for sightseeing and outdoor activities across the country, and these are considered to be the peak-tourist season in Qatar.

Because Qatar is a small and flat country, there is little regional variation in the weather, although coastal areas may be slightly cooler than inland. Doha, the capital of Qatar, is highly urbanized which can make the weather in Doha feel slightly hotter than it is.
