Muscat: The CAA said skies are expected to remain partly cloudy to cloudy along the Dhofar coasts and mountains, with intermittent drizzle and a chance of isolated rainfall over the mountains.

Across the rest of the Sultanate, conditions will generally remain clear, although medium and high clouds are expected. There is also a possibility of convective cloud development over parts of the Al Hajar Mountains during the afternoon, bringing isolated rainfall and occasional thunderstorms.

Late-night and early-morning low clouds are forecast over coastal areas along the Arabian Sea and Oman Sea, which could lead to reduced visibility in some locations.

The authority also warned of the possibility of dust rising over desert and open areas, with visibility potentially affected by dust, fog formation and rainfall.
