Winds will be light to moderate, becoming fresh to strong at times with cloud activity and causing blowing dust. South-easterly to north-easterly winds will reach 35km/h in coastal areas, 45km/h inland and 50km/h in mountainous regions.
Temperatures are expected to reach 35°C to 39°C in inland areas, 33°C to 37°C along the coast and on islands, and 26°C to 32°C in mountainous regions.
Humidity will increase overnight and into Friday morning in some coastal and inland areas, particularly in the west, with a possibility of mist formation.
On Friday, fair to partly cloudy weather will continue, with a chance of convective clouds bringing rainfall to eastern areas. Winds could reach 40km/h, while humidity overnight and on Saturday morning may lead to mist formation in western areas.
Similar conditions are forecast for Saturday, with possible showers in eastern regions and winds reaching 40km/h.
On Sunday, November 1, the NCM expects further convective cloud development and possible rainfall in eastern areas. Humidity overnight and on Monday morning could result in fog or mist over some coastal and inland regions.
The unsettled conditions are expected to persist into Monday, November 2, with another chance of rainfall in eastern areas and possible fog or mist overnight and into Tuesday morning.
Winds are forecast to reach 40km/h from Friday through Monday.
Despite the unsettled weather, sea conditions are expected to remain slight in both the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea throughout the five-day period.
The NCM attributed the weather pattern to an extension of a surface low-pressure system accompanied by an upper-air low-pressure system.
