Tropical Depression in Arabian Sea
May 29, 2010:
There is an increased confidence that a tropical storm might form in the Arabian Sea during the next 5 days. More details later
May 28, 2010
There are hints from at least a couple of models (GFS and ECMWF) that the Arabian Sea might produce a tropical storm or even a cyclone in southeast Arabian Sea! The storm is shown to move northwest.
A majority of the models seemed to suggest that the system could be declared a cyclone by June 2 over east-central Arabian Sea (thehindubusinessline)
It is a wait game. We need to wait and see how persistent weather forecasts and models remain with regard to such a forecast. We also need to wait and see whether a low pressure systems starts organizing in SE Arabian Sea on or around May 30-31, 2010. The Arabian Sea often produces tropical storms, but is not considered very active when it comes to cyclones and tropical storms. Storms there are few and often weak and short-lived. However, strong storms do develop, albeit infrequently.
All countries along the shores of the Arabian Sea need to keep an eye on the potential for a cyclonic development during the next 5 to 7 days and subsequently the track it might take.
