The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has expected that the weather on Sunday will be predominantly clear to partly cloudy, with a transition to cloudy conditions during the night and into Monday morning, accompanied by a likelihood of light precipitation in the northern regions.

The forecast also indicates a heightened humidity during the night and early morning hours on Monday, with the potential for fog or light fog formation in specific inland areas. Additionally, the southeasterly winds are expected to shift to northwesterly during the night.

Light to moderate in speed, sometimes active, causing dust, and their speed is from 10 to 20, reaching 40 km/h at sea late at night, and the sea is light to medium waves, turbulent to the west late at night and Monday morning in the Arabian Gulf and light waves in the Sea of Oman.

The weather on Monday is expected to be cloudy, particularly the northern, coastal, and eastern areas. There is a possibility of precipitation, a decline in temperatures, and elevated humidity levels during the night and early morning hours on Tuesday.

Additionally, there is a potential for fog or light fog to form in some inland areas. The winds will be southeasterly, turning northwesterly, light to moderate in speed and active at sea, with a speed of 10 to 25 km/h, reaching 40 km/h. The sea will be light to medium, sometimes turbulent off-shore in the Arabian Gulf and light in the Sea of Oman.

The Tuesday's weather is expected to be dusty and partly cloudy, particularly in the northern, coastal, and eastern areas. There is a possibility of precipitation, accompanied by a further decline in temperatures.

The prevailing winds are expected to be northwesterly, with moderate to active speeds and gusts reaching 55 km/h, particularly over the sea, where they will be strongest. These winds will also blow at 40 km/h over land, especially in the sea. The sea conditions are expected to be rough to very rough in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough at times in the Sea of Oman.

On Wednesday, the weather is expected to be dusty and partly cloudy in the northern, coastal, and eastern areas.

The winds are expected to be northwesterly, with moderate to active speeds and strong morning gusts, particularly along the coast, resulting in dust and sandstorms on land at speed of 20 to 35 km/h, with speeds reaching up to 50 km/h, particularly in the sea, where waves are expected to be very turbulent in the Arabian Gulf, and turbulent to medium in the Sea of Oman.
