3 Aug 2026 Heavy rain and hail expected in Al Hajar Mountains By OUR CORRESPONDENT

Muscat – Recent forecasts from the Omani numerical model warn of developing cumulus clouds bringing scattered thundershowers, active downburst winds, and hail across parts of the Al Hajar Mountains and surrounding areas.

These conditions increase the likelihood of flash floods and flowing wadis, presenting potential risks to local communities and travellers.

Residents are urged to exercise caution, avoid crossing overflowing valleys, and follow safety updates issued by meteorological authorities as these unstable atmospheric conditions continue to affect the mountainous regions.
