Weather in Muscat in August
August in Muscat is the hard heat. Outdoor plans belong to the ends of the day. The middle is for indoors or water.
In Oman, this is how Muscat actually wears August, not how a country centroid would. Compared with June and January, August sits in the middle of Muscat's year.
Pack for Muscat in August, not for a brochure that was photographed in another season.
