    Have done a survey. Here's a range of forecast maxima for Muscat for tomorrow:

    www.weather-forecast.com 33C
    google 32C
    wunderground 34C
    Accuweather 33C
    yahoo 28C
    weather.com 29C
    www.met.gov.om 32C (for the airport)

    and the BBC - 43C

    According to the Hutchinson World Weather Guide the highest temperature ever recorded in Muscat in April is 41C so the BBC is predicting something pretty extraordinary, which I'm sure won't happen. Admittedly for the airport they're only predicting 35C but they're so out of line that I think I'll get my foreign weather forecasts from google or local services in future.
