Doha at 36°C While Moscow Sits Near Freezing in Fog
A 38-degree gap separates Doha's 36°C afternoon from Moscow's overnight -2°C, while Miami and Athens take the heaviest rain of the day.
AT A GLANCE
- Doha is the hottest of the major cities at 36°C (97°F)
- Moscow falls to -2°C (28°F) overnight under fog
- Miami has the heaviest rain at 28.5 mm, with winds up to 35 km/h
- Athens follows with 24.6 mm of heavy rain
The standout contrast in the next 24 hours from 05:30 UTC on Monday 2 November 2026 is between the Gulf and Russia. Doha climbs to 36°C (97°F) under mostly sunny skies, while Moscow drops to -2°C (28°F) overnight and only reaches 5°C (41°F) by day, with fog. Heavy rain is the other big story, led by Miami and Athens.
Gulf heat against Russian chill
Dry air and sunshine keep the Gulf hot. Doha is the warmest of the big cities, with Riyadh and Jeddah close behind at 35°C (95°F). Nights stay warm too, with lows of 25°C to 26°C. Moscow is the opposite: light winds of 8 km/h let the cold settle, and fog adds to the raw feel.
Heavy rain in Miami and Athens
Miami has the heaviest rain of the day, about 28.5 mm, and winds reach 35 km/h. It is warm rain, with temperatures between 23°C and 25°C. Athens is also under heavy rain, with about 24.6 mm and winds up to 29 km/h, which means slippery roads and a messy day across the city. Denver sees heavy rain too, about 14.2 mm, in much cooler air at 10°C.
Europe: cold and cloudy in the north, wet and windy at the edges
Much of northern and central Europe is grey and cool. Zurich reaches only 6°C (43°F), Stockholm 8°C and Berlin 9°C. Helsinki has steady rain, around 6.6 mm, with winds to 26 km/h. Reykjavík is the windiest place in our list, with winds up to 43 km/h and rain. London, Paris and Amsterdam see only light showers, while Lisbon is mostly sunny and a mild 25°C.
Asia: monsoon rain in the south, dry and crisp in the north
Southeast Asia is wet, with rain in Hanoi, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. Hanoi is the heaviest at about 16.2 mm. In southern India, Chennai gets about 14.8 mm of heavy rain, and Colombo has heavy rain as well. Mumbai stays dry and hot at 34°C. Further north it is quieter: Delhi and Lahore are mostly sunny at 28°C, and Beijing and Seoul are sunny but cool, with Seoul falling to 4°C overnight. Tokyo has rain, and Hong Kong has rain with winds up to 34 km/h.
Southern Hemisphere and Africa
Rain is widespread in Australia. Melbourne gets about 9.8 mm, Brisbane about 8.4 mm, and Sydney sees rain with winds up to 34 km/h. Rain also falls in São Paulo, Santiago, Lagos and Johannesburg. Cape Town stays dry but breezy, with winds up to 33 km/h.
What it means for travellers and people outdoors
- Miami and Athens: allow extra time for journeys and expect standing water on roads. Check flight and ferry times before you leave.
- Gulf cities: the sun is strong and it is hot, so drink water and keep outdoor activity for the cooler hours.
- Moscow and northern Europe: fog and near-freezing temperatures call for warm layers and slower driving in the morning.
- Reykjavík, Hong Kong and Sydney: wind and rain together make coastal walks less pleasant, so take a waterproof.
