Climate types in Qatar

Qatar has a tropical desert climate.

Qatar has a tropical desert climate with summer and winter all year round. In summer, it is 5438+00 from May to June, and the weather is hot and humid. The temperature is generally 25~46 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature can reach more than 50 degrees Celsius. From June in winter 1 1 to April of the following year, the weather is cool and dry, the temperature is generally 10~30 degrees Celsius, the lowest is 7 degrees, and the annual average rainfall is about 80 mm.

Tropical desert climate is generally distributed in the mainland and west coast under the control of the North-South regression high pressure belt, with desert areas in North Africa, Arabian Peninsula in Asia and Australia as typical examples. Controlled by subtropical high pressure zone or trade wind zone, it is controlled by tropical continental air mass all the year round, with drought and little rain. The annual precipitation is about 100mm, and in some places it is only a few tens of mm, with plenty of sunshine and high temperature. The average temperature in the hottest month can reach about 30℃.

Tropical desert climate distribution area

The tropical desert climate zone is located on the north and south sides of the tropical grassland climate zone. These places have high air pressure and stable weather. The wind always blows from the land to the sea, but the humid air from the sea can't enter the land, so the rainfall is very small and very dry. The rocks on the ground are weathered to form fine sand grains, which float and accumulate with the wind to form sand dunes, which are widely distributed and become a vast desert.

The tropical desert region has dry climate, high temperature, heavy sandstorm and high soil salt content. In order to survive and grow, plants must have a strange ability to adapt to the natural environment in the desert. Therefore, compared with plants in general areas, plants in desert are quite different in appearance, internal structure and physiological functions.
