Oman’s climate varies between the interior and the coast. The interior is hot and dry, while the coast is hot and humid. In the capital, Muscat, and other coastal areas, summer temperatures often reach 110° F (43° C), accompanied by high humidity. Winters are mild, with lows averaging around 63° F (17° C). The interior experiences similar temperatures, which are more moderate at higher elevations. Dhofar is influenced by the summer monsoon, resulting in a more temperate climate in Ṣalālah compared to northern Oman. Rainfall is minimal throughout Oman, averaging about 4 inches (100 mm) per year, with heavier precipitation in the mountains.
