Sultanate of Oman | Thunderstorms affect large parts of the Al Hajar Mountains, accompanied by showers of rain and hail

Latest satellite images show the rapid development of cumulonimbus clouds over the Al Hajar Mountains, with rain falling on some of these highlands.

Rain is now concentrated on the eastern highlands of Izki, Nizwa, Bahla, Ibri and Muhadhah, accompanied by lightning, thunder and hail, in addition to descending winds, amid expectations that rain will continue in these areas during the coming hours.

These rains are expected to gradually recede during the early night hours, with the weather returning to stability in various regions. Chances of rain will be renewed on Tuesday, but with less intensity and comprehensiveness, and God knows best.
