Muscat – Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced that a trough of low pressure will affect the sultanate from January 2 to 5.

According to the CAA, this weather system is expected to bring scattered rain showers, primarily impacting Musandam and coastal areas along the Sea of Oman. Residents in these areas can expect a significant drop in temperatures, along with formation of fog over mountainous regions. Winds will intensify, creating conditions that could raise dust and reduce visibility.
