Tropical Storm (Sand) intensifies before entering land tonight and Monday morning, and huge amounts of rain are expected

Arabia Weather - The latest satellite images at the Regional Arabia Weather Center monitor the huge structure of the first tropical storm in the Bay of Bengal and the northern Indian Ocean (Sand), where huge bundles of cumulonimbus thunderstorm clouds revolve around the center of the storm, which records low air pressure values up to 980 millibars and fast winds. Severe waves reaching 97 km/h, with waves ranging in height from 8-10 metres.

Storm "Sand" will intensify tonight and tomorrow morning, hitting India and Bangladesh with full force

Specialists at the Arabia Weather Center said that the latest outputs of computer simulation models indicate an intensification of the storm (Sand) in the evening and night of Sunday, dawn and Monday morning, when it reaches the coasts of northwestern India and Bangladesh, where the atmospheric pressure values deepen, and thus the winds intensify and the thunderstorms gain more strength. Due to the increase in its nourishment with latent thermal energy and humidity, the effects of the storm were then clearly evident with very heavy rains accompanied by very strong thunderstorms and strong winds reaching more than 100 km with gusts reaching 140-150 km/hour. Due to the strong winds, the wave level is expected to rise to more than 100 km/h. More than 10 meters during the peak period, threatening coastal cities with floods.

The sand storm continues on Monday, feeding on tropical winds, and very heavy rain continues

According to the latest received outputs, the eye of the storm is expected to enter the sands of land on Monday, especially during the daylight hours, but it will continue with very high intensity as a result of its attraction to tropical winds loaded with huge amounts of water vapor, which works to feed the storm with sufficient moisture to continue with high intensity, as very heavy rains continue to fall at a pace. It will continue without interruption before gradually declining for the rest of Monday to a deep tropical depression, God willing, but this does not mean the end of the severe effects of the tropical condition.

It is expected, God willing, that heavy rain will continue on Monday evening and Tuesday, with a further decline in the tropical status classification until it returns to tropical disturbance as a result of the weather system moving away from the surface of the hot and humid waters.

Huge amounts of rain, reaching 700 mm of rain in some areas

The results of the computer numerical models themselves indicate that the amounts of rain are believed to be enormous, ranging between 400-700 mm, varying from region to region depending on the terrain. Rainfall amounts in this way cause torrential torrents, flash floods, and the occurrence of landslides and rock collapses as a result of water saturation of the ground.

God knows.
