DOHA: Some places in the country might witness a drizzle or light rains, the Meteorology Department said yesterday, adding the weather could be partly cloudy with dust haze at places.

And with winds blowing from the north, the minimum temperature could drop a bit to 21 degree Celsius in the night.

Wind speed could go up to 10 to 20 knots at places, while visibility is forecast to be low at between five and 10 kilometres.

The minimum temperature yesterday was 23 degrees Celsius, said the weather bureau. The day temperatures is likely to be 28 degrees Celsius, the same as it was yesterday.

‘Big Bang’ collider to start working again

GENEVA: Scientists are restarting a giant sub-atomic particle collider built to reproduce “Big Bang” conditions, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said yesterday. After a year’s delay, they hope to have beams circulating by early today in the huge tunnels under the French-Swiss border that are part of the world’s biggest machine, and then accelerate them this weekend, CERN spokesman James Gillies said. “At the moment they’re putting beams down in the Large Hadron Collider and as the night goes on they’ll take the beams through and start circulating them,” he said. The experiment will not be properly under way until January when the LHC is operating at full capacity, he said.

Technical problems forced CERN to shut down the $9.82bn collider just nine days after it was started.
