Latest updates: Tropical depression moving towards the Arabian Peninsula and rain expected in several countries
Computer simulation results indicate that it is expected to continue moving westward towards the south of the Arabian Peninsula, coinciding with its development into a deep air depression on Monday, before declining again to a tropical depression on Tuesday and Wednesday, with expectations that it will affect several Arab countries as follows:
- Monday, October 14: The indirect effects of the tropical system begin on some of the Sultanate’s coasts overlooking the Arabian Sea, especially the southeastern coasts, and quantities of clouds flow at different heights with chances of some thunderstorms.
- Starting from dawn on Tuesday, October 15: The effects of the tropical condition on the Sultanate are increasing, as clouds flow at different altitudes, interspersed with cumulonimbus clouds, leading to rainfall in most governorates, sometimes accompanied by thunder, and leading to the flow of valleys and ravines, especially the Al Hajar Mountains and neighboring areas.
- Wednesday, October 16: The effects of the weather system continue on the Sultanate, with rain falling in most governorates, especially in the Al Hajar Mountains, neighboring areas, and coastal areas. It is not unlikely that some rainfall will extend to the eastern Emirates and the southern Eastern Region in Saudi Arabia.
- Thursday, October 17: Moisture from the remnants of the tropical system continues to affect the region, bringing rain in some areas.
