Timeline of cyclone "Shaheen" sweeping the Sultanate of Oman
With the early morning hours of Sunday 3/10/2021, Cyclone Shaheen began moving along the coasts of the Sultanate of Oman overlooking the Sea of Oman, accompanied by heavy rains on parts of Muscat, South and North Al Batinah, which led to the formation of torrential rains and floods in some areas, in addition to rising Sea wave and submerged some coastal areas.
Cyclone Shaheen's crossing of the Omani coast was completed on Sunday night at 21:45 local time, coinciding with its retreat into a tropical storm, bringing with it large amounts of rain and accompanied by strong winds in many northern governorates of the Sultanate, making Hurricane Shaheen the Suwaiq station at the forefront of stations. Global meteorological monitoring as the largest amount of rainfall, recording about 306 mm.
The classification of the tropical situation Shaheen declined during the early morning hours of Monday to a deep tropical depression after it penetrated into the Omani lands, moving to the southwest towards the Empty Quarter to reduce the chances of rain in most of the wilayats of the Sultanate.
Although the Sultanate of Oman was subjected to stronger cyclones during its history, Cyclone Shaheen is characterized by its extremely rare path, which has not been recorded in modern climatic records, and it is believed that a similar path occurred in the year 1890 AD.
