For the first time, Wadi Bani Ghafir in the Wilayat of Al Rustaq witnessed such severe congestion as rains let the wadis flow, attracting visitors.
The wilayats of Al Rustaq and Al Awabi witnessed heavy traffic due to the influx of visitors to enjoy the rains for the fourth consecutive day.
The rains turned out to be the major attraction.
The temperature had also cooled down but now we are back with the summer temperatures except for the coast of the Arabian Sea, said the Oman Met Office weather forecaster.
This is because along the Arabian Sea coasts winds will be southerly to southwesterly moderate to fresh and along the Oman Sea coasts it will be easterly to northeasterly light to moderate becoming variable light at night, while over rest of the governorates it will be southerly to southeasterly light to moderate occasionally fresh over deserts and
open areas.
The weather experts explained, “The coasts of the Arabian Sea will experience temperatures in the mid-thirties, while the areas across the coast of the Sea of Oman will have temperatures ranging Arlin mid forties. The plain regions, desert areas, Al Wusta, Al Dhahira and Al Buraimi governorates will experience mid-forties temperatures.”
The weather forecast further states that clear skies are expected over most of the governorates with chance of convective cloud formation and isolated rain over parts of Al Hajar Mountains during afternoon with a chance of dust rising over desert and open areas.
Al Hajar Mountains will continue to develop local cloud formations but rains are not expected at least for the next two days.
There are also chances of low clouds or fog patches at late night and early morning over coastal areas of Dhofar, Al Sharqiyah South and Al Wusta governorates.
