Weather & Climate
The hottest months in June and July, temperatures inland may reach upwards of 53 degrees Celsius (127.4 degrees Fahrenheit) but in the lowlands it’s rarely higher than 47 degrees Celsius (116.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Winter temperatures, on the other hand, are mild, typically ranging between 18 and 26 degrees Centigrade (64.4 and 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit). Humidity is also high within the country with the lowlands having a humidity level as high as 90%.
Meanwhile annual rainfall typically ranges between 20 and 100 millimetres (0.8 to 3.9) but in the more mountainous regions it can rise as high as 900 millimetres. However, the region of Dhofar is subject to a southwest monsoon between June and September every year and occasionally a cyclone from the North Indian Ocean reaches land, both of these events bring incredibly heavy rain.
