Rains to continue around Al Hajar Mountains

Arabian Sea stays calm but temperature continues to touch 40 in October.

While there has been discussion on the social media about a potential development of another weather system over the Arabian Sea, Oman Met Office of Public Authority for Civil Aviation said, “Currently everything is normal on the Arabian Sea.”

Speaking to Observer, the Met Office Weather forecaster said this is the transition stage between the summer and winter.

“It is understood that post monsoon is the season for cyclones and storms, but we are not expecting anything now,” he said. At the same time, the weather expert said, the summer rains will continue in and around Al Hajar Mountains.

Clear to partly cloudy skies are expected along coastal areas of Dhofar and the adjoining mountains while mainly clear skies forecast over rest of the Sultanate with chance of convective clouds development and isolated rain occasionally. Thunderstorms associated with fresh wind and hail were expected over Al Hajar Mountains and adjoining the wilayat during the afternoon.

There is also chance for late night to early morning low level clouds or fog patches formations along coastal areas of the Arabian Sea, as per PACA’S weather forecast.

Temperature continued to touch 40 degree Celsius in some areas including Al Amerat, Buraimi, Fahud, Adam and Sur. The coolest place in Oman, Jabal Shams is experiencing a high of 23 degree Celsius and a low of 15 degree Celsius.
