Doha, Qatar – Intense bolts of lightning lit the night over the capital on the evening of March 25, 2026, in footage taken from a terrace.

The handheld video shows repeated, bright white-purple flashes tearing across the dark sky above the city.

Bolts streak and branch dramatically, throwing sudden illumination over buildings and the skyline below.

Rain falls steadily as the thunderstorm unfolds directly over Doha.

The poster described it as DOHA QATAR RIGHT NOW HEAVY LIGHTNING DOHAQATAR.
