Tomorrow, the weather is expected to stay partly cloudy to cloudy at times. Moreover, there is a chance of the development of the convective cloud eastward in the afternoon. Moreover, the conditions might also become humid overnight and into Thursday morning, particularly across the western region. So, it could raise the chances of fog or mist formation.
Winds are expected to remain light to moderate with speeds ranging from 10 km/h and 25 km/hr. However, the speed could reach up to 35 km/hr during the daytime. However, the conditions in the Arabian Gulf and the Oman Sea will be slight or normal.

The NCM is continuously reminding residents to stay updated with the official alerts and avoid spreading misinformation. Videos of rainfall and storms online, including those shared from popular weather tracking accounts like storm_ae, show the growing public interest in the changing weather patterns.
Safety measures like reducing driving speed, avoiding flooded roads, and securing outdoor items are strongly advised. This is because rain, dust, and fog are active across the nation.
