Väder i Khasab i februari

February is the coolest stretch of the emirate's year and regulars set it out as a two-outfit month: shorts and a t-shirt by day at mid-20s, long trousers and a jumper after dark, particularly if the wind gets up. Our row bears it out at 26.7C over 16.4C. Mid-February is the coolest part of it, with a little rain - 12.9mm across 2.9 days - and never actually cold. They also warn the sea is on the cool side in winter, and at 22.4C that is fair. One claim we cannot support: the board says the emirate runs ten degrees under Dubai, where our two rows sit within half a degree of each other. The record: humidity 63 percent, 10 hours of sun and AQI 80.

Forum posters describe mid-to-late March in Oman generally as warm but manageable - daytime temperatures in the low 30sC, evenings cooling to the low 20sC, mostly sunny with only occasional haze from wind and blown sand. Posters call it comfortably warm enough for pool or beach time without tipping into the properly oppressive heat of Oman's peak summer, and mild enough in the evenings for outdoor dining or sightseeing without discomfort. Khasab's specific draw this time of year is its fjord-like Musandam coastline, with posters recommending a dhow boat cruise through the fjords as the signature activity - conditions calm and clear enough at this point in the year to make the cruise a comfortable, scenic outing rather than a hot, hazy one.
