Oman’s climate extremes were on full display in June 2026, with the country experiencing its highest temperature of 50.4°C in Mahout, according to recent weather data from the Civil Aviation Authority. This scorching heat was not isolated, as other areas like Barka, Damaa and Al Tayeen, and Fahud also saw temperatures soar to 49.4°C, and Qarn Al Alam followed closely with a high of 48.4°C.
Contrasting these intense heat levels, the mountainous region of Jabal Shams registered the country’s lowest temperature at a much cooler 11.1°C. Other areas also enjoyed relatively milder conditions. Saiq recorded a temperature of 16.8°C, while Al Ashkharah saw 18.0°C, Jabal Harem 18.2°C, and Dhalkut 20.4°C.
The weather report also highlighted significant rainfall, particularly in Dhofar. Dhalkut led with the most precipitation, receiving 55 mm over the month. Other regions such as Jabal Shams recorded 18.4 mm, Saiq 16.6 mm, Ibra 12.2 mm, and Qayroun Hairiti 11.2 mm, showing a concentration of rainfall in these mountainous areas.
This weather data underscores the stark contrasts within Oman’s climate during June, where extreme heat was prevalent across much of the country, while some regions experienced significant rainfall. The variations between the blistering temperatures in the lowlands and the cooler, wetter conditions in the highlands and Dhofar illustrate the diverse climatic challenges faced by the country during the summer months.
