Muscat in November
What to expect
In Muscat, November sits in late autumn, a shoulder-season month where the feel can shift as the season turns. Daytime heat stands out once the sun is up, with evenings that ease back comfortably. Daylight is moderate, so steady pacing works well. Comfort is usually predictable, so a standard day plan works well. A practical way to frame the month is that direct sun can push afternoons into a hotter feel, while sun exposure is consistently strong at midday.
