The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has predicted a period of relatively unsettled weather across the country from Saturday, April 18, to Wednesday, April 22.
The forecast begins with fair to partly cloudy skies, with temperatures expected to rise significantly over the weekend, aided by light to moderate winds.
By Monday night, cloud cover is anticipated to increase gradually over coastal areas and islands, leading to a more volatile weather pattern by mid-week.
Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to feature partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with blowing dust, alongside a chance of rainfall in various regions, especially in the west and east.
This change will bring a noticeable drop in temperatures and freshening winds reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h, resulting in rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf, while the Sea of Oman is expected to remain relatively calm.
