Weather of Arabia - It entered the regions of the southern hemisphere, including the southern parts of the Indian Ocean, from 12/21/2022 until this day in the summer season, as temperatures rose and the surface temperature of the waters of the southern Indian Ocean also rose, and became suitable for generating tropical states, some of which amount to the name of a hurricane .

In contrast to the regions located in the northern Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea, the satellite images of the Arab Weather Center monitor two tropical cyclones at the same time circulating close to each other in the region located in the southern Indian Ocean.

Category 3 Hurricane Freddie

The first hurricane is Hurricane Freddie of the third category in the southeastern region of the Indian Ocean, and it is moving west over the waters of the ocean in the coming days, with expectations of a decrease in its classification to the first category during the next two days, and no expected or clear effects until the end of this week on any country or islands in the western ocean Indian.

Category one typhoon Dingani

The second cyclone is a Category 1 hurricane, Dingani, centered in the central part of the southern Indian Ocean, and will move in the coming days at a southeastern angle towards waters with lower temperatures than the one it is located in now, as the atmospheric pressure is filled in the center of the hurricane with its transformation into a tropical depression over the ocean waters. away from the states.

Scientifically, the reason for the formation of hurricanes in the southern Indian Ocean region is due to entering these areas in the summer, as the temperature of the waters of the southern Indian Ocean rose to about 28 degrees Celsius, which is a very favorable temperature for the formation of huge cumulus clouds that begin to develop and grow and absorb potential energy from the surface temperature. warm waters, which makes it gradually develop into a tropical air system, the atmospheric pressure decreases in its center, and clouds begin to circulate around the center of low air pressure, announcing the growth of a hurricane when the wind speed reaches more than 120 km / h, and the classification of the hurricane increases according to the average wind speed according to the Saffir-Simpson scale to measure the intensity of hurricanes .

In complete contrast, the region north of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea is witnessing the dominance of a solid tropical air elevation in the upper layers of the atmosphere, in the absence of even cloud cover.

It is noteworthy that the hurricane season in the northern Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea witnesses two periods of activity, the first between May and June, and the other period of activity from September to November.

God knows.
