25 Mar 2026 CAA refutes rumours of rare weather phenomenon By OUR CORRESPONDENT

Muscat – Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has released an official clarification concerning a series of images and reports circulating on social media platforms. These materials alleged the presence of a rare weather phenomenon accompanied by unprecedented rainfall within the Arabian Gulf region and Oman. Following a thorough review of these claims, the authority has confirmed that the information being shared is inaccurate and does not reflect the current or predicted meteorological reality.

In light of these findings, the Civil Aviation Authority has issued a stern reminder to the public to refrain from disseminating unverified rumours. Officials emphasised that spreading misinformation can cause unnecessary alarm and hinder official communication efforts during active weather systems. The authority urged all citizens and residents to rely exclusively on official sources for weather updates and to verify any news before sharing it further.

By adhering to official guidance and ignoring speculative reports, the community can ensure they remain accurately informed. The authority remains committed to providing transparent and timely data to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone across the Sultanate.
