Hailstorm safety guidelines issued for public

Muscat: Authorities have issued safety guidelines urging the public to take precautionary measures during hailstorms, as unstable weather conditions continue to affect parts of the Sultanate of Oman.

The advisory emphasised the importance of remaining indoors and staying in safe locations while avoiding unnecessary movement during periods of intense hail. Residents were also urged to keep away from windows and open areas to reduce the risk of injury.

Motorists have been advised to avoid driving during heavy hail and to park their vehicles in safe, covered locations whenever possible. In cases where shelter is unavailable, covering vehicles can help minimise damage caused by hailstones.
