This weather activity is a result of the influence of the Indian monsoon low, which is pushing large amounts of tropical moisture into the Sultanate's atmosphere. This increases the chances of cumulonimbus clouds forming over the Al Hajar Mountains during the afternoon and evening.

Recommendations:

• Beware of flash floods and torrents
• Stay away from low-lying areas when it rains.
• Beware of reduced horizontal visibility due to dust caused by downward winds.
