April weather forecast
Oman

April marks the culmination of the spring season in Oman and serves as a prelude to the country's intensely hot summer. This month witnesses a significant increase in temperatures, with averages typically oscillating between 26°C (78.8°F) and 36°C (96.8°F) across most regions. The rising heat in April is a marked departure from the cooler winter months and a clear indication of the sweltering summer ahead.

In Muscat, temperatures continue their upward trend with averages typically between 24°C (75.2°F) to 36°C (96.8°F). The city of Salalah also sees an uptick in temperatures, with averages hovering between 25°C (77°F) to 35°C (95°F). While still pleasant by Oman standards, these temperatures indicate a definitive move towards the hotter months.

The elevated regions of Jebel Shams and Jebel Akhdar provide some relief from the mounting heat. Despite a temperature increase from March, they remain cooler than the rest of the country with averages between 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F).

In terms of precipitation, April generally sees a slight decrease in rainfall with an average of 20mm (0.79") across the country. The infrequent showers continue, serving more as an exception rather than a rule in Oman's predominantly arid climate.

When compared to May, April's temperatures are still manageable and relatively mild, particularly in the high-altitude areas. However, as the country transitions into May and onwards, visitors can expect a significant rise in temperatures, marking the onset of Oman's intense summer season.
