Weather of Arabia - The weather forecast staff at the Arab Regional Weather Center monitors the latest satellite images and regional meteorological stations, which indicate the formation of a tropical depression over the waters of the southern Bay of Bengal, which is expected to develop in the coming days into the first tropical cyclone in the first activity season for tropical cases Which is in the months of May and June and is called (pre-monsoon), i.e. the season that precedes the monsoon activity in the Arabian Sea.

In the details, satellite images are monitored in the Arab Weather Center, which constitutes a tropical state that is classified as a tropical depression until the preparation of this report over the waters of the southern Bay of Bengal, where large amounts of cumulus clouds multiply with the beginning of observing the rotational movement of clouds around the center of the depression, and the wind speed during this time reaches About 30 knots per hour.

Expectations of the tropical depression developing into the first tropical cyclone this year

The outputs of the computer numerical models sense very favorable chances for the tropical depression to develop into the first tropical cyclone over the Bay of Bengal waters during the coming days, as the tropical state is expected to continue moving westward in the depth of the Bay of Bengal waters, and the depression is expected to develop into a tropical storm on Thursday. But it will still be far from the land so that there are no significant effects on most of the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal, with the exception of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which the storm will pass along.

It is expected that the tropical storm will develop into a tropical cyclone on Friday and Saturday, and will head directly towards the coast of Burma, threatening the residents of those areas with strong winds and heavy rains, with fears of torrential rains, floods and landslides.

From a scientific point of view, the high surface temperature of the Bay of Bengal water and the hot sea currents, which reach a temperature of about 31 degrees Celsius, are fuel for the growth of thunderclouds and feeding them with sufficient moisture to develop this condition to dangerous levels.

God knows.
