The QMD, in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, said this period was typically characterized by a rise in temperature and dominance of northwesterly winds.

Sudden weather fluctuations are common, including formation of cumulus clouds, which may lead to thunderstorms and dust storms, said the QMD.
