How hot is it in Qatar during May?
Expect heat in Qatar during May. The temperature hits about 37℃ during the day, falling away to a balmy 30℃ at night. The UV index will be very high at this time of year, so you'll need to protect your eyes and skin. Avoid sun exposure between 10am and 4pm where possible. If outdoors, find shade, wear sun-protective clothing, wear UV-blocking sunglasses and generously apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every hour or so. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies! Remember that bright surfaces, such as water and sand will increase UV exposure.

Is it windy in Qatar during May?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a gentle breeze that increases to moderate at times during May. With moderate humidity, any breeze will have a very welcome cooling effect.
How warm is the sea in Qatar during May?
The water around Qatar reaches a very pleasant 29℃ during May. This is very warm, and will feel bath-like. People who normally feel the cold will find this temperature perfectly acceptable. The hot air temperature will mean that you will feel comfortably warm when coming out of the water.
