A tropical depression has been detected in the Bay of Bengal. Will its effects extend to the Arabian Sea?

Arab Weather - The weather forecasting staff at the Arab Weather Regional Center monitors the latest satellite images and regional weather monitoring stations, which indicate the formation of a tropical depression over the Bay of Bengal and affecting western India, as large amounts of cumulus clouds multiply with the beginning of observing a rotational movement of clouds around the center of the depression, and the wind speed during this time reaches about 27 knots per hour.

There is no expectation that the tropical depression will develop into a tropical cyclone due to its position over land.

The outputs of the numerical computer models do not indicate any chances of the tropical depression developing into a tropical cyclone over the waters of the Bay of Bengal in the coming days, as the tropical condition is expected to continue moving westward in India and remain far from the surface of the water, so that there is no chance of the depression developing into a tropical storm or a tropical cyclone, but it is accompanied by very heavy rains with fears of flash floods, landslides and flooding.

The second season of tropical activity in the North Indian Ocean is about to begin.

The second season of tropical activity in the North Indian Ocean begins in October and November, and is called (Post-monsoon), i.e. the season that follows the monsoon activity in the Arabian Sea. This does not mean that there is no possibility of tropical activity in other times of the year, but the previous two periods are considered the peak of tropical activity in the Arabian Sea.

Scientifically, the high surface temperature of the Bay of Bengal waters and the warm ocean currents, which reach temperatures of about 31 degrees Celsius, fuel the growth of thunderstorm clouds and feed them with enough moisture to develop this condition to dangerous levels if it persists over the waters.

God knows best.
