The coastal and internal areas will experience the most fog, according to weather forecasters, with temperatures to range from 14 to 27 degrees Celsius across the coastal areas and from eight to 20 degrees Celsius in the mountain areas.
However, the NCMS expects cooler weather over the next two days, as temperatures will drop once again with southeasterly and northeasterly winds blowing dust and sand.
In a statement, weather forecasters at the NCMS said that the weather over the weekend will be partly cloudy in general, “with a chance of rain over the islands and coastal areas. Moderate winds in general, causing blowing dust/sand and poor visibility over some exposed areas.”
The Arabian Gulf will have rough waves while the Oman Sea will be generally calmer.
