There is a chance of thunderstorms and rain along the eastern and southern coasts, particularly in the Socotra Archipelago. Winds will also strengthen along the southwestern coasts and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

Mountainous Regions and Rainfall Predictions

In the mountainous regions, the forecast predicts cool to relatively cool weather during the night and early morning hours. The center anticipates varying intensities of thunderstorms and rain in parts of Al-Mahrah, Hadhramaut, and Shabwa provinces, extending to parts of the western highlands. Additionally, there is a possibility of fog and mist in some areas.

Rain in Desert and Plateau Areas

Safety Warnings for Citizens

The center has warned citizens to avoid areas prone to flooding and low-lying roads during rainfall. It urged caution during thunderstorms and advised people to stay away from electrical poles, trees, and billboards. Elderly individuals and children in mountainous areas should take necessary precautions due to the expected drop in temperatures.
