Sultanate of Oman - Weather Update | The Sultanate's atmosphere continues to be affected by the tropical system and more heavy cumulonimbus clouds will advance in the coming hours

Arab Weather - The latest satellite image analysis at the Arab Weather Regional Center indicates that the Sultanate of Oman's atmosphere will continue to be affected by the tropical system during the coming hours. Cloud bands are moving, interspersed with rainy cumulonimbus clouds, one of which is now focused on the southeast, accompanied by heavy thunderstorms, leading to a rise in water levels.

Thunderstorms of varying intensity in the coming hours

Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that the Sultanate's atmosphere will continue to be affected by the tropical system tonight, and more clouds are expected to rush from the Arabian Sea towards the various governorates of the Sultanate, interspersed with cumulus clouds concentrated mainly in the south and north of Al Sharqiyah, extending towards Muscat and the north and south of Al Batinah, with thunderstorms of varying intensity, which may sometimes be heavy in some areas, especially mountainous and coastal areas. These rains lead to sudden flow of valleys, which requires attention when approaching valleys and ravines and rising water levels.

Possible downdraft activity as thunderstorms pass

In addition to thunderstorms, cumulus clouds are expected to be accompanied by active downward winds, which may sometimes be strong, especially in desert and exposed areas. The Arab Weather Center advises following weather updates first-hand, and adhering to the instructions issued by official authorities. It is also preferable not to venture out to areas where waterfalls and torrents descend, especially on slopes, and to avoid gatherings in low-lying areas that may be exposed to floods locally.

God knows best.
