MUSCAT: Heavy rains lashed many parts of Oman on Tuesday under the influence of a low pressure, bringing life to a standstill on Tuesday morning.
Dramatic videos posted on social media networks showed strong winds and flooding in many parts of the Sultanate including Muscat, as authorities suspended schools, while traffic piled-up as office-goers were stranded.
Meanwhile, in a statement issued, Royal Oman Police urged motorists to be cautious due to reduced visibility. “Due to reduced horizontal visibility due to heavy rain, vehicle drivers are kindly requested to take caution, turn on the vehicle’s lights and wait until visibility is clear,” ROP said.
