The latest computer outputs of the Arab Weather Center indicate that the Dhofar autumn activity will continue in the coming days, so that the weather will be humid and moderate on the coast of Dhofar, with rain falling, God willing, on the parts overlooking the Arabian Sea during the coming days.

The “khareef” season begins in Dhofar, from June until mid-September. Nature transforms wonderfully as the land flourishes with green meadows, thanks to the southwestern monsoon winds that blow during the summer. A seasonal phenomenon known locally as “autumn” occurs, as most mountainous areas are covered with fog and witness seasonal drizzle. This natural phenomenon helps in the growth of plants, the flow of valleys, and the formation of waterfalls, transforming the barren desert landscape into a charming green oasis.

Why does Salalah experience the “khareef” season in the summer?

There are many factors and reasons that make summer fall in Dhofar Governorate, which are:

• The deviation of the monsoon winds towards the Arabian Sea as a result of the topographic nature of the mountains of Somalia and Ethiopia
• The occurrence of the phenomenon of updraft of water causes a temperature difference between the warm monsoon winds and the cold water surface
• Wind collision with mountains causes the air to rise and water vapor to condense, forming low clouds
