Oman / Dhofar /
Climate
The Dhofar region is subdivided into 9 wilayats. Its climate is
dramatically different to the rest of Oman due to the effects
of the monsoon rains (khareef) which arrive during the summer
months, creating humidity and moderate temperatures of around
300C. As a consequence, the area becomes lush and green, with
waterfalls and rivers feeding the surrounding pastures. The mountain
ridge, which receives the most rain, stretches for 400km from
east to west.
During the
khareef, springs gush forth and provide plentiful water supplies
for much of the rest of the year. The fresh greenery is ideal
for cattle grazing and livestock rearing is an important occupation
in the area.
