AI Summary

Researchers at Sultan Qaboos University and the Environment Authority of Oman mapped the overlap of drought and extreme‑heat events across the country. Their analysis shows that the regions most vulnerable to each hazard alone are not always the ones facing the combined stress of both. When drought and heat coincide, the dual pressure intensifies demands on water supplies, agriculture, ecosystems, energy systems and public health. The study highlights the need to consider compound climate risks when planning resource management in Oman.
