Several wilayats across Oman received rainfall of varying intensity on Tuesday, causing wadis and streams to flow. Heavy rains lashed the wilayats of Shinas, Liwa, Suhar and Al Khabourah in Al Batinah North Governorate, triggering flows in wadis and streams.
Several wilayats in Al Batinah South also experienced thunderstorms accompanied by rainfall of varying intensity. Heavy rains were also reported in parts of Al Dakhiliyah Governorate. Rainfall of varying intensity was also recorded across several wilayats in Musandam Governorate, causing wadis and streams to flow.
