Oman is Hot! - Literally!























This summer was exceptionally hot, not that other summers of Oman were cooler! But seriously this one was terribly sweaty. Many ornamental trees have been killed by heat stroke. Some may survive, others, have gone to the point of no return.
So what do we do now: Staying indoors, shopping indoors, beach going.
Check the weather before your next trip to Oman (or when you go out to buy eggs) and be prepared for some real heat!
Unless you will begoing to Salalah, that place is a lot cooler! Same is true in higher mountains like al Jabal al Akhadr. Enjoy the summer …

It has been raining in Muscat

 

The past few days have been a blessing for those of us living in Muscat! It has been sometime since we've seen such amounts of rain!

This rain covered most of northern Oman. This has brought the temperature down to the mid 20s from lower 40s about 2 weeks ago!
