Research summary This research comes within the framework of the growing interest in studying local climate changes and the direct and indirect environmental impacts they cause on natural systems and human societies, as climate changes have become one of the most prominent environmental issues preoccupying the world at the present time, because of their clear effects on temperatures, humidity, soil, water, and various human activities. This research aims to study and analyze the impact of local climate changes on air temperature, soil temperature, and humidity levels in the Wilayat of Khasab during the year 2025 AD, as it is one of the coastal regions with distinct environmental and climatic characteristics in the Sultanate of Oman. And the mountainous. From this standpoint, the research seeks to understand the nature of local climate changes in the state, and to analyze how these changes are reflected in basic climate elements such as temperature, Air, soil temperature, and relative humidity. The research is based on a scientific approach that combines field work and descriptive analysis, where field data is collected directly from the study site using simple and available measuring tools such as a digital thermometer, an alcohol thermometer, and a hygrometer to measure humidity. This data is recorded periodically and regularly during different time periods from the year 2025 AD, allowing monitoring of daily and seasonal changes in the climate elements studied. The data is also documented in organized tables to ensure accuracy and ease of analysis. In addition to the field data collected directly from the study site, this research also relies on official climate data issued by the meteorological station in the state of Khasab, in addition to data available from the Environment Agency in the Sultanate of Oman through the open data portal. This accreditation comes within the framework of strengthening the scientific basis of the study, and ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the analysis by making use of approved and reliable data sources. Field data is an essential element in this research, as it reflects the actual climatic conditions at the study site during the monitoring period, and represents direct measurements of a number of important weather variables such as air temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure. These data are distinguished by their ability to clarify subtle local changes that may not appear clearly in general climate records, especially in areas affected by local geographical or environmental factors. On the other hand, the official climate data issued by the meteorological station in the state of Khasab provide regular and approved time records, collected according to precise scientific standards and advanced measuring devices, which makes them an important reference for comparing field results and verifying the extent of their compatibility with the general climate trends of the region. These data also contribute to giving a more comprehensive picture of the prevailing climate characteristics, and help explain possible differences between field measurements and official measurements.
