Today will be decidedly calmer, after yesterday’s windy weather.

Although the wind speed decreased overnight, it is expected to drop further into the afternoon and evening. The wind speed at 8am was 11.9 kilometres per hour.

The National Centre for Meteorology also expects rough to very rough seas in the Arabian Gulf; anyone planning a sea trip should wait until it becomes moderate after 4pm, or try the Oman Sea instead, where it will remain moderate throughout the day.

It will be partly cloudy throughout the day. The current temperature is 19.5 degrees Celsius.

Relative humidity is at its peak during the early morning and throughout the night. Right now it is 66 per cent.
