Latest weather charts and the analyses of the National Multi Hazards Early Warning Center indicate that the tropical depression is located over western Dhofar Governorate with estimated surface wind speed around the center ranging between 15 and 23 knots (27 to 40 km/hr) with a chance to move to the westerly direction in the coming hours.

         Heavy thundershowers are expected to continue over Dhofar Governorate and likely to concentrate over the western parts and surrounding desert areas of the governorate, approximately 100 to 200 mm during next 24 hours associated with fresh to strong winds. Flooding is expected over low coastal areas and increase in wadis flow with reduction in horizontal visibility. Chances of cloud advection and isolated rains (5 - 20 mm) are expected also over the southern parts of Al Wusta Governorate. Sea condition will continue to be rough along Dhofar Governorate (5-4 meters) while along Al Wusta and South A'Sharqiyah governorates (3 meters).

           Weather charts indicate a gradual decline in intensity due to movement of the center of low pressure toward the Republic of Yemen from tomorrow evening (Monday).

         The Public Authority for Civil Aviation (PACA) advices the public to take precaution while raining and stay away from low lying areas, avoid crossing wadis and avoid venturing into the sea.ONA
