Best time to visit Oman?
The climate is best in Oman between November and mid-March, when daytime temperatures average 25°C; it is cool in the evening. From May to September much of Oman is unbearably hot, averaging 35˚C in June.
The khareef, between mid-June and late August, brings some relief, with rain (and green grass) to the hills of southern Oman. Dhofar averages 30°C year round. The Al Hajar Mountain range, including Jebel Akhdar, is a few degrees cooler throughout the year. For more climate info: Oman Weather Guide
