MUSCAT : Close behind were Al Qabil and Mahout stations, where temperatures reached 47°C, prompting health and safety advisories for residents and outdoor workers.
Authorities have urged the public to avoid direct sunlight, particularly during peak afternoon hours, to reduce the risk of sunstroke and heat exhaustion.


In an official advisory, Oman Meteorology highlighted that high temperatures significantly impact workers involved in field activities and outdoor jobs. The department recommended that employers organise working hours to include rest breaks during the hottest parts of the day, and stressed the importance of hydration and heat safety training.


“It is preferable to train workers and supervisors on how to deal with high heat spells,” the advisory stressed.
