Parts of Oman can expect single-digit temperatures at night, as winter has officially hit the country.
December 23 is officially known as the first day of winter across the six GCC nations, and several parts of Oman are currently lingering around the two-digit mark.
However, a few areas in the country registered single-digit minimum temperatures over the past few days, according to the Public Authority for Civil Aviation.
The town of Saiq recorded a temperature of eight degrees, while both Ibri and Nizwa were at 11 degrees.
In addition, Ibra, Haima and Buraimi (all 13ºC), and Rustaq (15ºC) also experienced cold nights.
