MUSCAT : According to the alert, the weather system will affect Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah, Al Dakhiliyah, North and South Al Batinah, North and South Al Sharqiyah, Muscat, and Musandam. The conditions are expected to persist for several days.

The Met office also cautioned that desert and open areas will be particularly vulnerable to blowing dust and sand, leading to reduced horizontal visibility and potentially hazardous driving conditions.

In coastal areas, especially along Musandam, sea conditions are forecast to be moderate, with wave heights reaching up to 2.0 meters.
