Oman and the UAE: Thunderstorms are expected to return to these areas in the coming hours.

Arab Weather - Satellite images and weather radars indicate that cumulonimbus clouds have begun to form over mountainous areas, specifically the Al Hajar Mountains in the Sultanate of Oman, extending toward the eastern and southern regions of the UAE.

The formation of these clouds is accompanied by significant downward wind activity, which may lead to dust storms and temporary reduced horizontal visibility, especially on desert and open roads near cloud formation areas.

Chances of cloud cover expanding in the coming hours

According to available weather data, cumulus clouds are expected to expand over the coming hours to encompass larger parts of the Hajar Mountains, extending to parts of the southern and eastern Emirates and possibly extending later toward neighboring inland regions. These clouds will be accompanied by varying amounts of rain, sometimes accompanied by thunderstorms, and will be accompanied by strong winds and possible local hail.

Important alerts during thunderstorms:

It is advisable to be careful of heavy rains that may cause valleys and ravines to flow in some mountainous and sloped areas.

Beware of poor horizontal visibility due to strong winds that cause dust.

It is advisable to stay away from valleys and not risk crossing them while the water is running.

And God knows best.
