MUSCAT: The Oman Meteorology Department has issued a weather alert for several regions in the country due to the continued activity of northwesterly winds. These winds are expected to affect parts of Al Dhahirah, Al Wusta, and Dhofar, bringing gusty conditions and potential disruptions to local weather patterns. The department urges residents and travelers in these areas to remain cautious, as the winds may cause reduced visibility and potentially hazardous conditions, especially for those engaged in outdoor activities or traveling by road.
In addition to the gusty winds, the weather alert highlights the possibility of temperature fluctuations, with cooler conditions expected in some areas, particularly in higher-altitude regions. People in the affected areas should take precautions against sudden changes in weather, especially for those working outdoors or involved in construction or agriculture. The winds could also result in rough seas, which may affect coastal areas, so maritime activities should be closely monitored.
The Omani authorities are advising residents to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and warnings to ensure safety during this period. Those planning to travel in or around the affected governorates should exercise caution, especially when driving in areas prone to sandstorms or poor visibility. The Meteorology Department is closely monitoring the situation and will issue further updates as necessary to keep the public informed.
The department also reminds everyone to stay alert for any additional weather changes, as the winds may intensify or shift direction, impacting other regions. It is essential for citizens and residents to follow the advice of local authorities and take steps to protect themselves from the adverse effects of this weather event.
