NCM: Unstable weather expected midweek

Moist air mass from surrounding seas

A moist air mass is flowing in from the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman, contributing to increased humidity. Combined with rising daytime temperatures and the influence of the eastern mountains, this leads to the formation of convective clouds over scattered areas, according to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM).

Expected impact on eastern, southern, and internal regions

Weather conditions will mainly affect eastern and southern areas, with potential extension into some internal regions. Convective clouds are expected to form, bringing rainfall of varying intensities. These may be accompanied by lightning, thunder, and small hail, especially on Wednesday and Thursday.

Strong winds and reduced visibility

Winds will range from southeasterly to northeasterly, generally moderate, but may become fresh to strong during convective activity. This could result in blowing dust and sand, reducing horizontal visibility in affected areas.

Sea conditions in surrounding waters

The Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman are expected to have slight to moderate sea conditions throughout the forecast period.
