MUSCAT — Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) warned on Tuesday against the spread of unofficial weather forecasts and alerts, saying inaccurate information circulating online could mislead the public and create confusion.
The authority said it had monitored several entities and personal accounts publishing weather-related predictions that contradict official updates issued on its platforms.
It cautioned that the circulation of unverified or exaggerated information could result in misunderstandings among the public and institutions, particularly during periods of changing weather conditions.

The authority also emphasised the importance of verifying information from credible sources, thanking the public for their cooperation in supporting the broader public interest.
