According to official forecasts, the unstable weather conditions are linked to active convective cloud formations, which are likely to bring intense rainfall in multiple regions.
The impact is expected to extend across Al Buraimi, North Al Batinah, South Al Batinah, Al Dhahirah, Al Dakhiliyah and Muscat, in addition to parts of North and South Al Sharqiyah.
