Wednesday’s weather is expected to be clear to partly cloudy at times with clouds appearing interspersed by cumulus clouds with a chance of rain on the islands and some western, southern and eastern areas, according to National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

Light to moderate southeasterly to northeasterly and northwesterly winds will blow, turning to active and dust-stirring at times at 10 to 25 and up to 40 km/h, while the sea will have regular to moderate waves in the Arabian Gulf and regular waves in the Sea of Oman.

Thursday’s weather will be dusty and partly cloudy at times with clouds appearing, possibly cumulus clouds in the south, and a drop in temperature, especially in the west.

Light to moderate northwesterly winds will blow, turning to active and dust-stirring winds at 15 to 25 and up to 40 km/h, while the sea will have moderate waves but may become rough in the Arabian Gulf and regular to moderate waves but may become rough at night in the Sea of Oman. 

Friday’s weather will be dusty to partly cloudy at times with a further drop in temperature but will be humid at night and on Saturday morning in some coastal and inland areas with a chance of fog or light fog.

Moderate to active northwesterly winds will blow, turning to strong at times offshore and dust-stirring, causing the horizontal visibility to be lower, while the sea will be rough to very rough at times in the Arabian Gulf and will have moderate waves but may become rough in the Sea of Oman.
