Low Pressure System Continues in Oman Until Tomorrow, Infant Death Raises Toll to 18

Heavy rainfall continued today across the northern provinces of the Sultanate of Oman, as the Civil Aviation Authority anticipated the continuation of thunderstorm rainfall until Wednesday across the entirety of Oman’s provinces, with the gradual receding of the low-pressure system effects starting tomorrow evening and into Thursday morning.
In the latest search and rescue developments, the National Committee for Emergency Management reported that two of the four missing individuals were found yesterday, one in good health and the other, an infant, unfortunately deceased. This raises the death toll to 18, with searches ongoing for two other missing individuals.

National Center for Multi-Hazard Early Warning's analyses indicate the continuing movement of thunderstorm cells over the provinces of Musandam, Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah, and North Al Batinah, with varying intensities of rainfall expected to increase in the coming hours.

Kawthar bint Sulaiman Al Jabriya, a meteorology specialist at the Civil Aviation Authority, told the Oman News Agency that forecasts indicate continuous heavy rainfall across the northern provinces of the Sultanate of Oman, particularly focusing on the provinces of Musandam, Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah, and North Al Batinah during the afternoon, extending to cover the provinces of Al Dakhiliyah, South Al Batinah, Muscat, South Al Sharqiyah, and North Al Sharqiyah by this evening.

In light of the ongoing impact of the "rain-bearing low-pressure system" across various provinces of Oman, the Ministry of Education has decided to continue the suspension of physical school attendance, adopting remote learning in all public, private, and international schools across Oman, excluding the provinces of Dhofar and Al Wusta, until Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the eastern region of Saudi Arabia experienced moderate to heavy thunderstorm rain accompanied by strong winds and hail showers, which lasted from last night into this Tuesday morning. The weather conditions led to increased water levels on roads and in tunnels, disrupting traffic movement. Consequently, physical classes were suspended today, switching to remote learning instead.
