Muscat — The National Center for Early Warning of Multiple Hazards has released the latest updates on Tropical Storm Asna, which is currently positioned in the northeastern Arabian Sea, near the Indian and Pakistani coasts. The storm is moving westward toward the Oman Sea, with its center approximately 900 kilometers from Sur (Ras Al Hadd).
The Civil Aviation Authority has outlined two primary scenarios regarding the storm’s trajectory as it nears the Oman Sea:
Northern Path: There is a possibility that Tropical Storm Asna could move towards the coastal areas between Muscat and South Al Sharqiyah. This scenario suggests that isolated rainfall and occasional thunderstorms may affect South Al Sharqiyah, North Al Sharqiyah, Muscat, and parts of South Al Batinah and Al Dakhiliyah governorates on Sunday and Monday. These conditions could potentially lead to the flow of some wadis.
Southern Path: Alternatively, the storm might shift southward to southwesterly directions, gradually weakening and moving away from the coast of South Al Sharqiyah. In this case, isolated rainfall is anticipated over South Al Sharqiyah, North Al Sharqiyah, and Al Wusta governorates.
The National Center for Early Warning of Multiple Hazards continues to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates and alerts as necessary.
