LIGHT RAINS RING IN KHAREEF

On the very first day the Khareef (monsoon season) many areas in Salalah received light rains in early morning, while density of cloud, fog and drizzling was higher on the mountains. Greenery has already started settling on the mountains and Salalah plains due to widespread rains caused by cyclone Mekunu.

Generally, greenery in Salalah is a phenomenon which is associated with the advent of Khareef, but this time it came at least 20 days early due to the cyclone. The visitors here are pleasantly surprised to see the mountains green so early.

Salalah this time has many natural waterfalls and overflowing springs offering enchanting view in all the four directions.

The temperature is also coming down day-by-day as the city remained cloudy most of the day on Wednesday and Thursday. City’s maximum temperature dropped down to 29 degrees Celsius, while the minimum remained static at 27 degrees.

Cheer is widespread in Salalah due to changing weather. People here are expecting good season. The municipal authorities are busy fixing the damages done by the cyclone at most of the tourist sites and a dedicated festival committee of Dhofar Municipality is busy installing booths, services and facilities at the festival ground in Itin.
