Weather

Its varied geography means Oman has a wide variety of climatic conditions. Muscat is fiercely hot and humid from mid-March until October and pleasantly warm from October to March. Indeed, during June unwavering humidity and average day-to-day 31-38°C (88-100°F) temperatures make for seriously dangerous conditions. In the Dhofar region in the south of the country, the weather is more temperate with temperatures of 30°C (90°F) all year round. The Salalah area is affected by the khareef, a drizzling rain, from June to September which turns the local mountains green.
