The temperatures experience minor fluctuations and it is overall more humid. While daytime temperatures are around 27°C during the winter months from December to February, it is about 32°C warm in the summer months. Even at night, temperatures rarely drop below 20°C throughout the year. From June to September, the Khareef, a branch of the monsoon, occurs. The weather in Salalah is then very humid and brings significant rainfall. The region becomes a green oasis.
