Oman experienced its highest average maximum temperature in three years during 2025, according to data released by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI). The average maximum temperature rose to 34.1°C, reflecting an increase from 32.9°C in 2024 and 32.8°C in 2023. This marks the warmest annual peak temperature recorded in the country over the recent three-year period.

Alongside rising temperatures, the Sultanate also witnessed a notable decline in humidity levels. The average maximum humidity dropped to 66.4 percent in 2025, compared to 72 percent in 2024 and 74 percent in 2023. These shifts indicate a trend toward hotter and drier conditions.

The NCSI data highlights changing climatic patterns affecting Oman, with implications for environmental conditions and resource management in the region. Analysts suggest that the observed warming and reduced humidity may impact agriculture, water availability, and daily life, although specific effects were not detailed in the report.

These developments come amid broader concerns over climate change and its impact on the Arabian Peninsula, where rising temperatures and variable precipitation have been increasingly documented in recent years. The NCSI findings provide updated insights into this ongoing trend within Oman, underlining the importance of continued monitoring and adaptation strategies.
