Sultanate of Oman: Cumulonimbus clouds associated with heavy rains now affecting some governorates of the Sultanate

Weather of Arabia - The latest satellite images received at the Arabia Weather Center indicate a wide activity of strong and thick cumulus clouds over parts of the center of the Sultanate, represented by parts of the Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates, in addition to the southern parts of the Al Dakhiliyah and Al Dhahirah governorates.

These clouds are accompanied by heavy to very heavy rains, accompanied by the occurrence of thunderstorms, and activity of downward winds, whose speed may exceed the barrier of 120 km / h, and cause temporary sand storms.

These weather conditions call for attention from the possibility of torrential runoff in the affected areas, in addition to the possibility of a decrease and perhaps almost no horizontal visibility due to dust storms that arise from the downdrafts accompanying thunderclouds.
