Will Storm Shaheen develop to the point of a hurricane?

This possibility is not excluded, as the weather conditions in the northern Arabian Sea region are suitable for the development of the tropical situation and its intensification during the next two days, but the possibility of the storm being exposed to dry winds coming from the Pakistani and Iranian deserts if the storm slows its movement west, if this happens, the storm will pull dry northern winds from the north This will lead to its weakness and disintegration.

When will the effects of the storm begin on the Sultanate of Oman and the Emirates?

The date of the storm’s arrival to the Omani and UAE lands depends on the speed of the storm’s movement, but in general, the forecasts of various weather models indicate that the storm will touch the Omani and UAE coasts overlooking the Sea of Oman either Sunday or Monday, before moving west towards the Hajar Mountains and the UAE interior, which will be accompanied by many weather phenomena.
