The most severe conditions are expected on Thursday and Friday, with scattered heavy rain, lightning and possible hail, wind speeds reaching up to 65 km/h, a drop in temperatures and rough to very rough seas in the Arabian Gulf.
Conditions are forecast to gradually improve from Saturday, with lighter rain possible in some areas and moderating sea conditions by Sunday.
