Arab Weather - The Arab Weather Center issued its seasonal forecast for the summer, and the seasonal bulletin indicated its forecasts for the fall of Dhofar, so that the initial signals indicated a higher than average activity for the fall of Dhofar for the year 2022 AD, God willing.

The autumn season brings its own charm to Dhofar, where light rains, widespread fog, and the sun are veiled in most times of the day, and moderate temperatures that reach an average of twenty-five degrees Celsius, as a result of being affected by the monsoon winds coming from the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.

And the reasons for this phenomenon in the summer:

• The blowing of the southwest monsoon.
• The difference between ocean water temperature and land air temperature.
• The high terrain nature of the Dhofar Mountains.

And about the mechanism of its formation, when the hot, moist air passes over a cold surface, a process of cooling the air takes place here as a result of its contact with the cold surface. In meteorology, this process is known as upwelling.

The mountains of Dhofar also play a key role in the formation of terrain clouds. When the southwest winds carrying large quantities of water vapor blow over the coastal areas and collide with the mountains in the Dhofar Governorate, condensation of water vapor occurs, forming low clouds.

The issuance of these forecasts for the “Autumn of Dhofar” is based on a study:

• Forecasts of global monitoring centers.
• Study of global climatic phenomena such as (IOD).
• Somali Jet Stream (SJs) activity.
