MUSCAT: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has forecasted the possibility of rainfall in several parts of the Sultanate of Oman during the upcoming Eid Al Adha holidays. The meteorological reports indicate that weather systems are developing in the northern and eastern parts of the country, which could lead to scattered rains, especially over the Al Hajar Mountains and adjoining areas. These weather conditions are expected to bring cooler temperatures and cloud cover, offering temporary relief from the summer heat.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have urged the public to stay updated with official forecasts and advisories. While the rain could enhance the beauty of nature spots and encourage local travel during the holiday period, caution is advised, particularly in areas known for flash flooding or low-lying terrain. Travelers and residents are advised to avoid wadis during heavy rain and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
The rainfall is predicted to vary in intensity, with some areas experiencing light drizzles and others possibly receiving moderate to heavy showers. The CAA has emphasized that the forecast may change based on evolving weather patterns, and people should follow updates from the National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Center. Coastal areas may also witness rough sea conditions, making it important for beachgoers and fishermen to heed maritime warnings.
As Eid holidays approach, many Omanis and residents plan trips within the country, especially to popular destinations such as Jabal Akhdar, Salalah, and Sur. The expected rains might impact travel plans, but they are also likely to enhance the overall experience for those seeking a change in climate and scenery. The authorities aim to balance safety with the festive spirit by ensuring that timely information is shared through all media and digital platforms.
