Muscat: After the tropical state has developed into a first-class tropical cyclone, here is a look at the potential impact on the Sultanate.
A statement issued online by Oman Meteorology said: “After the tropical storm develops into a first-class tropical cyclone, it is likely that this will affect the governorates of South and North Al Sharqiyah, Muscat, North and South Al Batinah, Al Dakhiliyah, Al Dhahirah, Al Buraimi and Musandam Governorate during the next three days, with sea waves rising from 5-12 metres, along with sea water on the coastal areas.
