The temperatures
Today’s highs will be varying between 44 and 49 degrees Celsius, with a possibility of some tempering by the chance of rain and cloud cover. Nighttime temperatures are projected to drop to between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, offering some respite from the intense daytime heat.
The wind
Surprisingly but perhaps owing to the rain, moderate to fresh winds are expected throughout the day. Some strong winds are expected, causing some dust to be blown inland. Coastal areas can expect wind speeds that may reach up to 45 km/h, which could impact visibility and outdoor activities.

The sea
In the sea, the Arabian Gulf is likely to remain slight, while the Oman Sea could see slightly to moderately rough waters at times, especially under the influence of the stronger winds. Those planning to venture out into the sea for sailing or other maritime activities are being advised to remain cautious and check the latest updates on sea conditions.
When it rains…
During rainfall, motorists are advised by The National Centre of Meteorology to stay safe on the roads in affected areas. Drivers are instructed to drive only when necessary, turn on low-beam headlights when visibility is reduced and keep up to date with the forecasts via official channels.
