In June 2026, Oman experienced a dramatic range of temperatures, with Mahout registering the country’s highest at 50.4°C, while Jabal Shams noted the lowest at 11.1°C. These figures were part of the most recent monthly weather report issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. The extreme heat was not limited to Mahout; other regions such as Barka, Damaa and Al Tayeen, and Fahud also faced scorching temperatures, each recording highs of 49.4°C. Meanwhile, Qarn Al Alam wasn’t far behind, reaching 48.4°C.
While much of Oman sweltered in the intense heat typical of the summer season, some areas managed to keep relatively cooler temperatures. Saiq, for instance, recorded a more temperate 16.8°C. Other cooler areas included Al Ashkharah at 18.0°C, Jabal Harem at 18.2°C, and Dhalkut at 20.4°C. These regions provided some respite from the otherwise oppressive heat, illustrating the country’s diverse climatic conditions during this time of year.
Rainfall patterns also showed significant variability across the country. Dhalkut in the Dhofar region received the highest amount of rainfall for the month, measuring 55 mm. Other areas with notable precipitation included Jabal Shams, which saw 18.4 mm of rain, and Saiq with 16.6 mm. Ibra and Qayroun Hairiti followed, receiving 12.2 mm and 11.2 mm of rainfall, respectively. This distribution highlights how rainfall in Oman during June tends to be concentrated in specific regions, particularly the mountainous and southern areas.
The latest weather data underscores the stark contrast in Oman’s June climate. While the majority of the country copes with extreme summer heat, regions like Dhofar and certain mountainous areas enjoy more rainfall. This climate diversity is a significant characteristic of Oman’s weather patterns during the summer months, affecting everything from daily life to agricultural practices.
