By Monday night, cloud cover is anticipated to increase gradually over coastal areas and islands, leading to a more volatile weather pattern by mid-week.

Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to feature partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with blowing dust, alongside a chance of rainfall in various regions, especially in the west and east.

This change will bring a noticeable drop in temperatures and freshening winds reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h, resulting in rough sea conditions in the Arabian Gulf, while the Sea of Oman is expected to remain relatively calm.
