Weekend outlook: Rain, dust and shifting winds
The unsettled pattern will persist into the weekend, with Saturday bringing partly cloudy to cloudy skies and a continued chance of rainfall in scattered areas. Fresh winds may lift dust, with the Arabian Gulf turning rough at times.
On Sunday, convective clouds and further rainfall chances continue, alongside a slight drop in temperatures. Visibility may be reduced due to blowing dust, and seas could turn moderate to rough, especially in the Arabian Gulf.
Early week outlook: Stronger winds and rough seas
By Monday, partly cloudy conditions continue with light rain possible over eastern and southern areas. Winds may strengthen to around 40 km/h, with seas becoming moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and rough at times in the Oman Sea by evening.
Conditions are expected to ease slightly by Tuesday, though moderate to fresh northwesterly winds could still raise dust and sand inland, with rough seas persisting in places.
