Winter Is on Its Way!

Winter is rolling in and it’s making quite the entrance! Khasab just got a major weather upgrade, with heavy rain, cooler temps, and even a lightning alert to keep things interesting. If you’ve been waiting for sweater weather, your time has finally come.

Lightning struck and rain poured

The trusty Acu Rite Lightning Alert device flashed a warning, clocking in one lightning strike just 21 units away—close enough to make you double-check your umbrella. As the rain came down hard, the roads in Khasab turned into splash zones, with cars braving the wet and wild conditions. The usually dry, rocky landscape got a much-needed soak, and drivers had to keep their wits about them.

Temperatures dropped and travel got tricky

With the rain came a welcome dip in temperatures, finally giving everyone a break from the heat. The mountains around Khasab looked extra dramatic under the stormy skies, and the roads were slick with water. Power lines stretched across the scene, adding to the moody, wintery vibe. But with all this rain, getting to Muscat suddenly became a real adventure—drivers had to navigate the challenging weather and hope for clear skies ahead.

So, grab your jackets and maybe a pair of rain boots—winter in Oman is officially here, and it’s not holding back!
