MUSCAT : The Authority urges all private establishments, ports handling hazardous and radioactive materials, and oil pollution control service companies in affected governorates to take necessary measures in anticipation of potential emergencies due to adverse weather conditions.

The latest National Multi-Hazards Early Warning Center forecasts indicate that upper air low pressure will impact Oman from Monday to Wednesday. The weather system is expected to bring cloud cover across most governorates, with isolated rain of varying intensity, including thunderstorms.

Governorates like South Al Sharqia, Al Wusta, Dhofar, parts of Muscat, and the Al Hajar Mountains are likely to experience heavy downpours, leading to the flow of wadis and potential flash floods.

In the event of any environmental accidents during this period, the public is advised to contact the environmental emergency line at 24693666 immediately.
