What does this mean for the weather?

As these pressure fields come together with the presence of the mountains towards the east, and the cold air-mass at certain heights, convective clouds are likely to form.

This may cause rain to fall over some eastern, northern, and southern areas.

Rain may be seen towards the east on Sunday; from Monday to Wednesday, lightning and thunder will accompany heavy rainfall in some parts of the country.

From Monday to Wednesday, there will also be a drop in horizontal visibility as light to moderate winds are expected, causing blowing dust. The sea will be slight to moderate in the Arabian Gulf and in Oman Sea.
