This choice comes in line with advice from the National Centre for Early Warning of Multiple Hazards, which projects significant rainfall across numerous areas between 40 and 90 mm, The suspension is meant to guarantee public safety under the anticipated bad circumstances of the weather.

Work and school have been suspended in numerous important governorates according to the National Committee for Managing Emergency Situations. Particularly the governorates of Muscat, South Al Sharqiyah, and North Al Sharqiyah would have total stop in all in-person work and study activities. In these areas, both public and private sectors are supposed to be closed for the day.

Some governors, on the other hand, will turn to remote learning as a preventive step. Particularly the mountainous sections, these comprise Al Wusta, North Al Batinah, South Al Batinah, and portions of Al Dakhiliyah, Al Dhahirah, and Al Buraimi. By means of remote learning, schools will be able to keep staff members and children safe from possible weather threats while carrying on their instructional activities.

Strong advisories issued by authorities advising people and households to remain indoors during the duration of heavy rain Emphasizing that resident safety still comes first, the National Committee for Managing Emergency Situations advised everyone to pay great attention to official announcements. The committee also advised the people to follow required safety measures, such avoiding low-lying places prone to floods and keeping an eye on official channels for real-time updates on the changing circumstances.

Oman is not the only nation affected by the weather warning; neighbouring nations like the UAE are also getting ready for possible higher rainfall in some of their eastern and southern areas, According to first observations, a tropical depression developing in the Arabian Sea might affect both countries and perhaps bring strong winds and heavy rain. Oman's coastal communities as well as those of the United Arab Emirates are on watch for strong waves and potential seawater flooding in some spots.

Showing significant cloud cover over Oman's Musandam and North Batinah governorates, aerial images have given understanding of the evolution of this tropical depression. The tropical depression is expected to travel westward, perhaps impacting the Gulf of Aden and Dhofar Governorate beaches according to meteorologists. The tropical depression is predicted to coincide with a low pressure trough affecting northern Oman, thereby producing different rainfall levels in several governorates including Muscat, South Al Batinah, Al Dakhiliyah, and North Al Sharqiyah.

Oman's National Committee for Emergency Management has been attentively observing the matter, especially focusing on meteorological department alerts, The Committee has triggered the National Emergency Situations Management system considering the great risk the forecasted heavy rain presents. This activation covers several governorates most likely affected, including South Al Sharqiyah, Al Wusta, Dhofar, Muscat, and North Al Sharqiyah, under several sectors and sub-committees. These groups have been organized to raise degrees of preparedness so that they might react quickly to any crisis that might develop.

These preparations are meant to lessen the effects of the strong storms and organize quick reactions to claims of flooding, mishaps, or other disasters. This covers assigning emergency services, guaranteeing road safety, and, if needed, building shelters.
