Temperatures will rise gradually, contributing to humid conditions. Humidity levels will increase overnight and into Saturday morning, particularly in some coastal areas, leading to a muggy start to the day in those regions.

The weather department sent out a yellow alert, notifying residents of a deterioration in horizontal visibility, which may drop even further at times over some coastal and internal areas until 9am.

Winds will be light to moderate, occasionally becoming fresh at times, contributing to slightly breezy conditions in open areas, blowing at 10 to 20 km/h, occasionally reaching up to 35 km/h.

Both the Arabian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will experience slight sea conditions, making it generally safe for marine activities.

Residents are advised to take precautions during outdoor activities due to the increasing heat and humidity.
