There are chances of rain with occasional thundershowers that may be associated with fresh winds, hail and flash floods in wadis over the governorates of Musandam on Monday morning. These will extend gradually during the evening over North Al Batinah and Al Buraimi governorates. However, the governorates of South Al Batinah, Muscat, Al Dakhiliyah, North Al Sharqiyah and South Al Sharqiyah will be affected by the trough on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Following the passage of the trough, a moderate to fresh northeasterly wind is forecasted to affect most of the Sultanate, leading to a noticeable drop in temperature.
