Sultanate of Oman Thunderstorms, heavy thunderstorms in large areas Wednesday night and Thursday

The weather is moving with the hours of Wednesday evening from the UAE to directly affect the atmosphere of the Sultanate of Oman, and during Thursday the weather is concentrated on the provinces of Al Dhahirah, Al Batinah, Izki, Nizwa, Ibri and coastal areas. Some parts of the central and Dhofar governorates are affected by rainfalls and surface wind activity, but the strength of the situation is concentrated in the northern parts of the Sultanate.

These rains are accompanied by strong winds caused by the cumulative clouds, which are called (downwinds), which creates dust and dust, which results in a wide impact on the public spheres, including private and public properties, due to the high wind speed resulting from them. Temperatures are as high as the early 1920s, while lows fall to only 15 degrees Celsius and below that in the highlands.

The scientific cause of atmospheric instability

The direct cause is the presence of a cold air mass in the north of Iran, which is accompanied by cold and wet currents heading towards the eastern regions of Saudi Arabia, which converge with warm and humid currents coming from the Arabian Sea to form a cold and rainy air front moving gradually towards southern Arabia.

A dramatic drop in temperatures over the coming days

As the air mass deepens and moves towards the eastern regions, cooler currents are pushing down the temperatures from Thursday, as the weather becomes cool especially with the hours of night and early morning, while the weather is moderate during the day in various areas of the UAE and Oman and continue until the middle of next week, God willing. .
