Muscat – According to the forecasts, there will be a continued flow and formation of clouds, along with scattered rain of varying intensity, at times accompanied by thunderstorms. These conditions are forecasted to persist over the Dhofar Governorate and the coastal areas of Al Wusta Governorate throughout Wednesday, April 17, until Friday, April 19.

While the impact of the weather conditions on the northern governorates of Oman is expected to diminish, there remains a chance of cloud formation and scattered rainfall during this period, particularly in the afternoon over the Hajar Mountains and surrounding areas.

Details of the daily weather conditions in Dhofar Governorate and the coastal parts of Al Wusta Governorate indicate rainfall accumulations between 10 and 40 millimeters, leading to potential flash flooding in wadis and valleys. Reduced visibility due to low clouds and rain is also anticipated.

In light of these weather forecasts, the Civil Aviation Authority emphasizes the importance of caution and vigilance during rainstorms. Drivers are advised to exercise care due to potential hazards such as the flow of valleys and reduced horizontal visibility. Additionally, individuals embarking on sea travel should verify sea conditions beforehand and stay updated with weather bulletins issued by the Civil Aviation Authority.
