Winds are expected to be light to moderate, freshening at times to reach up to 50 km/h, causing blowing dust and sand and reducing horizontal visibility. Sea conditions are forecast to be slight to moderate, becoming rough at times in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
Temperatures are set to rise gradually before a noticeable drop later in the week, particularly on Friday, when rainfall is expected to extend to most areas of the country.

By Saturday, conditions are forecast to become fair to partly cloudy, with a significant decrease in temperatures. North-westerly to south-westerly winds will be light to moderate, freshening at times and causing blowing dust. Seas will remain rough in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea.
