The National Center of Meteorology (NCM) predicted a change in weather conditions as a deepening upper-air trough brings scattered showers and strong winds starting Sunday.

NCM on Tuesday forecasted an increase in cloud cover with the potential for light to moderate rainfall.

The centre also anticipated a chance of heavier downpours along with intervals of lightning and thunder, leading to a noticeable drop in temperatures.

Notably, rain is expected to decrease by Tuesday evening, the report warned against potential hazards.

Strong winds are also expected, shifting from south-easterly to north-easterly and eventually northwesterly.

These winds, described as moderate to fresh and potentially reaching strong gusts, could cause blowing dust and sand storms, significantly reducing visibility on the roads.

Motorists are urged to exercise caution and be aware of changing weather conditions.

The impact will be felt at sea as well, with the Arabian Gulf experiencing light to moderate waves that could become rough to very rough at times, particularly during periods of heavy cloud cover.

The Oman Sea can also expect rough seas, especially in areas with convective clouds.
