Latest developments in tropical activity in the Arabian Sea.. Al-Sayyal depression continues to affect the Sultanate and its effects will reach the UAE and Saudi Arabia later

Arab Weather - The effects of the Al-Sayyal depression began to actually affect the Sultanate of Oman during the dawn hours and morning hours of Tuesday, as cumulus clouds crossed the southern parts of the Sultanate, accompanied by varying amounts of rainfall that included parts of the South and North Al Sharqiyah and Al Wusta Governorates, in addition to parts of the Muscat Governorate.

The latest satellite images indicate that rain clouds continue to flow towards the Sultanate’s governorates, as the rains currently include parts of South Al Batinah, North Al Sharqiyah and Al Dakhiliyah Governorates. The rains are sometimes heavy, which may cause valleys and ravines to flow and water levels to rise in some areas.

Al-Sayyal depression continues to affect the Sultanate on Tuesday and Wednesday, and rain clouds reach the Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

The latest outputs of numerical models in Arab Weather indicate that the chances of rain will continue intermittently and locally, sometimes accompanied by thunder, in most of the Sultanate’s governorates today, Tuesday and Wednesday, while the effects of some rain clouds will extend tomorrow, Wednesday, to parts of eastern UAE and southeastern Saudi Arabia.

Weather forecasters said that the chances of rain are expected to weaken on Thursday as moisture continues to flow towards the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, which in turn leads to the continued formation of some rain clouds in scattered parts of the Sultanate of Oman, the Emirates and southeast of Saudi Arabia.
