Maximum temperatures in the mountains will average in the mid-30s.

The weather pattern is expected to continue over the next 48 hours, with the NCMS stating the weather will remain partly cloudy and hazy over some areas.

Relative humidity is likely to increase during night and early morning over some internal and coastal areas, hitting highs of 95 per cent at times.

The sea will be rough in the Arabian Gulf and moderate to rough at times in the Oman Sea.
