Sultanate of Oman Now | Extensive cumulonimbus activity over the Al Hajar Mountains... Details

Arab Weather - The latest satellite images indicate a significant development and widespread spread of cumulonimbus clouds across many parts of the Al Hajar Mountains. These clouds are accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, sometimes torrential, accompanied by hail showers and active downdrafts that stir up dust.

These weather conditions require attention to the possibility of flash floods in some mountainous and sloping areas, in addition to the reduced horizontal visibility caused by dust stirred up by the downwinds accompanying thunderstorms.

Declining weather activity at night

By the early evening and night hours, the chances of rain are expected to gradually recede across most areas of the Hajar Mountains, with the possibility of local showers remaining in some limited areas. The weather will gradually stabilize, and the intensity of cumulus clouds will decrease as the night progresses.
