The main occupation of the people of Thumrait is the cultivation of fruit, vegetables and animal fodder.{{fact|date=February 2014}} MilitaryThumrait is notable for its Royal Air Force of Oman station. Originally an oil depot, RAFO Thumrait was created to establish air power in that region of Oman. The first Omani air unit based at Thumrait, equipped with Hawker Hunter FG.9 aircraft, was tasked with ground attack and intercept missions. 12 new SEPECAT Jaguar fighter-bombers were added to the base's complement to improve attack capabilities in 1977. RAFO Thumrait has been used by US, UK and Allied air forces to support operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm around the time of the Gulf War, and later in Global War on Terror operations in Afghanistan. Many current such operations now operate from Muscat International Airport, which is closer to the area of operations.[3] Exercises held at Thumrait Air BaseIn 2009, Indian Air Force pilots of ‘Flaming Arrows’ and ‘Cobras’, the two SEPECAT Jaguar Squadrons participated in joint exercises called ‘Eastern Bridge’ alongside the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO)'s force of SEPECAT Jaguars and General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons at Thumrait Air Base. A subsequent Indo-Omani exercise, ‘Eastern Bridge-II,’ took place in 2011 at Indian Air Force Station Jamnagar (Gujarat).[4][5] ClimateThumrait has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with very hot summers and warm winters. There is very little rainfall; some rain may occur from February to April, as well as June to August due to the monsoon. {{Weather box| width = auto | location = Thumrait | metric first = Y | single line = Y | Jan record high C = 32.6 | Feb record high C = 35.0 | Mar record high C = 38.6 | Apr record high C = 41.0 | May record high C = 43.6 | Jun record high C = 45.4 | Jul record high C = 45.0 | Aug record high C = 46.0 | Sep record high C = 43.8 | Oct record high C = 40.0 | Nov record high C = 34.4 | Dec record high C = 32.0 | Jan high C = 25.7 | Feb high C = 28.1 | Mar high C = 32.3 | Apr high C = 36.0 | May high C = 39.2 | Jun high C = 40.6 | Jul high C = 37.1 | Aug high C = 38.2 | Sep high C = 37.6 | Oct high C = 34.7 | Nov high C = 30.2 | Dec high C = 26.1 | Jan mean C = 18.6 | Feb mean C = 21.1 | Mar mean C = 24.7 | Apr mean C = 28.2 | May mean C = 31.3 | Jun mean C = 32.3 | Jul mean C = 29.2 | Aug mean C = 29.4 | Sep mean C = 29.0 | Oct mean C = 26.7 | Nov mean C = 23.0 | Dec mean C = 19.5 | Jan low C = 10.8 | Feb low C = 14.1 | Mar low C = 17.3 | Apr low C = 20.6 | May low C = 23.2 | Jun low C = 24.9 | Jul low C = 23.9 | Aug low C = 23.3 | Sep low C = 21.8 | Oct low C = 18.4 | Nov low C = 14.7 | Dec low C = 12.0 | Jan record low C = 1.6 | Feb record low C = 5.8 | Mar record low C = 8.7 | Apr record low C = 14.1 | May record low C = 16.6 | Jun record low C = 21.2 | Jul record low C = 21.2 | Aug record low C = 19.5 | Sep record low C = 17.1 | Oct record low C = 12.0 | Nov record low C = 9.0 | Dec record low C = 5.0 | Jan precipitation mm = 0.7 | Feb precipitation mm = 8.3 | Mar precipitation mm = 17.1 | Apr precipitation mm = 11.4 | May precipitation mm = 0.0 | Jun precipitation mm = 11.6 | Jul precipitation mm = 0.1 | Aug precipitation mm = 5.2 | Sep precipitation mm = 0.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 0.0 | Nov precipitation mm = 0.0 | Dec precipitation mm = 0.6 | Jan humidity = 54 | Feb humidity = 53 | Mar humidity = 46 | Apr humidity = 41 | May humidity = 43 | Jun humidity = 44 | Jul humidity = 63 | Aug humidity = 58 | Sep humidity = 51 | Oct humidity = 41 | Nov humidity = 47 | Dec humidity = 54 | source 1 = NOAA (1980-1990)[6] | date = February 2014}} See also{{Portal |Oman}}
