Indicators for the formation of a tropical state in the Arabian Sea and the factors of its development and weakness
Weather of Arabia - indications for the formation of a tropical state in the Arabian Sea, where the latest updates of numerical models and satellite imagery indicate a low pressure region accompanied by the multiplication of cumulative clouds to the south of the Omani coast, about 270 km south of the city of Salalah, with wind speeds ranging from 20-25 knots , And the tropical situation is expected to develop into a tropical depression within the next few days, with opportunities remaining to extend into a first-degree hurricane.
The coasts of Dhofar Governorate in the Sultanate of Oman and Mahra in Yemen are expected to be affected by thunderstorms from the rain from Wednesday and intensifying gradually, especially with the beginning of next week, accompanied by active winds that may reach about 52 km / hour and the waves height is close to 4 m off the coast starting from Saturday, as well Some cumulus clouds are expected to burst into parts of southern Saudi Arabia, affected by showers of thunderstorms, including its evils.
Positive factors that help to develop the current orbital state:
- The observed rise in sea surface temperature off the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, where it reached the beginning of the thirties.
- Vertical winds (shear winds) are weak to medium, and range from 10-20 knots.
- The humid air masses from the southern hemisphere push towards the Arabian Sea during what is known as the Mansoon (Indian monsoon rains) and the activity of the Somali jet stream, which contributes to the intensification of these orbital states.
Negative factors during the orbital state:
The situation is approaching the southern coast of the Sultanate of Oman with the beginning of its formation, which works to reduce the wind speed and the loss of the tropical state of moisture and heat necessary for its development.
Most numerical models agree that the tropical state moves to the northwest, and the region between the Yemeni-Omani border is affected by it.
The Weather Forecast Center also monitors the formation of a new tropical state with the beginning of May off the western coast of India and is expected to affect parts of the coast of the Sultanate of Oman.
