Cloudy and hazy skies are expected across the country on Monday, with winds gaining strength over exposed areas and the sea, according to the National Centre of Meteorology.

Moderate to fresh northwesterly gusts are expected to reach a speed of 45kph over exposed areas inland, causing poor visibility and blowing dust, and 50kph over the coast, meaning seas will be rough.

Temperatures are expected to fall a couple of degrees, reaching 12°C inland overnight, ranging between 26°C and 13°C along the coast, and 20°C to 07°C in the mountains.

Conditions will be moderate to rough in the Arabian Gulf and Oman sea.
