"The weather is partly cloudy to cloudy skies along the coast of Dhofar Governorate and the adjoining mountains with chances of isolated rainfall. There are chances of convective cloud formation and rain accompanied with thunderstorms over Al Hajar Mountains and adjoining areas towards the afternoon.
