Authorities said the downpours led to overflowing wadis and water accumulation in low-lying areas, disrupting traffic movement and increasing safety risks.
Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority has warned that unstable weather conditions may persist, with thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds expected in some areas. Residents have been urged to remain cautious and avoid crossing flooded wadis.
