“Storm Warning: Arabian Sea Braces for Back-to-Back Cyclones”
'Double Cyclone Whammy: Arabian Sea's 9-Day Countdown'
Certainly! There are two cyclones forming in the Arabian Sea, and a private weather department has warned that both the west and east coasts of India could be affected by these cyclones in the next 15 days. This means that people in different parts of India need to be prepared for the possibility of severe weather strong winds and heavy rain as the cyclones approach. It’s essential to stay updated on the latest weather information and follow any instructions or warnings from authorities to stay safe.
In the Arabian Sea, a weather system is expected to start forming on Monday night. This weather system could potentially develop into a cyclone as the monsoon season progresses. If this happens, the cyclone is likely to move in a south-eastern direction within the Arabian Sea. However, it’s important to note that we can’t be completely sure if a cyclone will definitely form at this point. Additionally, on the east coast of the country, there’s also a risk of a cyclone forming.
If cyclones develop on both the west and east coasts, it’s predicted that they could hit within the next 9 days. This means that people in these areas need to be ready for possible severe weather conditions, such as strong winds and heavy rain, and should pay attention to updates from weather authorities for safety.
Skymet Weather, a private weather organization, has provided information about a situation in the Arabian Sea. They’ve observed a low-pressure area forming in the north-western part of the Arabian Sea near the equatorial zone. This area is getting warm air from the Indian Ocean, and that’s making conditions favourable for the development of a low-pressure zone. Key things like wind speed and direction are indicating that a low-pressure area is forming, which could eventually turn into a cyclone.
The next 72 hours are crucial because this is when the situation might develop further. It’s an important period to keep an eye on, as it could lead to the formation of a cyclone. People in the region should stay updated on the weather conditions during this time.
In a report from ‘Skymet Weather’ on October 13, they mentioned that conditions similar to those of a cyclone might form in the southern part of the Arabian Sea around October 15.
There’s a low-pressure area developing in the sea and it’s expected to move towards the south-central area in the next 72 hours. However, this low-pressure area is not very strong.
The report also said that because the environmental conditions in the area are not favourable, the chances of this low-pressure area developing into a full cyclone are very low. So, it’s not likely to turn into a severe storm or cyclone.
The IOD (Indian Ocean Dipole) tells us about wind speed and direction in certain places and it’s showing that there’s a temperature difference between two parts of the sea.
The MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) looks at weekly and monthly wind conditions and cloudiness near the equator. It happens roughly every 30 to 60 days.
Under the right conditions, there could be a low-pressure area that might turn into a cyclone. If that happens, it’s been planned to name it ‘Tej’ according to a pre-decided list of names for cyclones. Naming helps in easy identification and tracking of the cyclone.
Preliminary estimates suggest that a similar low-pressure area might also form in the Bay of Bengal. Between October 19 to 28, 2023 a cyclonic low-pressure area is expected to develop in the Arabian Sea near Oman and another one in the Bay of Bengal.
This cyclone in the Bay of Bengal will be named ‘Hamun’ according to the predetermined list of cyclone names. It’s predicted to affect areas like Odisha West Bengal and Bangladesh. So people in those regions should stay informed about the weather updates and prepare for possible cyclonic conditions during that time.
