DUBAI: Heavy rains and strong winds are expected to hit coastal areas of southern Oman early on Sept. 25, a meteorological office spokesman warned on Monday.
Tropical storm Hikaa is predicted to reach the coastal areas of Al Wusta and Masira Island late Tuesday, but will likely weaken to a deep depression with winds of between 34 – 40 kph and 30 to 60 mm of rain.
The Oman met office spokesman said the storm was predicted to “vanish gradually” by Thursday, Sept. 26.
The southern coastal areas of Oman are regularly hit by storms during pre-monsoon season during October and November.
