Arab Weather - Recent satellite images available through the Arab Weather app indicate an increase in thunderstorms across the Sultanate. These clouds are expected to intensify in the coming hours, becoming thundery, accompanied by rain of varying intensity in several governorates.

As for the details and their direct impact on the Sultanate's atmosphere, the air trough is expected to deepen further, with the rainy conditions expected to reach their peak impact on the Sultanate's atmosphere tomorrow, God willing. Large quantities of cumulonimbus clouds will multiply in the Sea of Oman and gradually push towards the interior regions. These clouds will be accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity, sometimes heavy, and accompanied by sudden, strong winds that will cause the formation of sandstorms surrounding the thunderclouds.

Thunderstorms are expected to cover large parts of the Sultanate, including the northern regions, especially the Al Hajar Mountains and surrounding areas. In light of these conditions and their impact on public life, Arab Weather warns of the possibility of flooding valleys and ravines in many areas, in addition to occasional intense lightning strikes, God willing.

And God knows best.
