Muscat: Some parts of Oman including Buraimi experienced heavy downpour on Thursday afternoon, according to Directorate General of Meteorology and Air Navigation (DGMAN), which monitors weather conditions in Oman. Rain, heavy at times, will continue in the Al Hajar Mountains.
“We are again calling everybody to stay away from the wadis,” a road safety expert said. In the recent past, accidents and casualties have been frequent in Oman due to incautious vehicle drivers venturing into dare-devil driving on the slippery roads and while crossing overflowing wadis.
In its weather bulletin, the DGMAN said: “Mainly Clear skies over most of the Sultanate with chances of convective clouds development and isolated rain over Al Hajar mountain and adjoining areas.”
