Muscat: The Public Authority for Civil Aviation has announced that it is monitoring the development of a weather condition in the Arabian sea.
In a statement online, Oman’s meteorology authority said, “The National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Centre is monitoring the indications of a tropical depression formation, south-west of the Arabian Sea, during this weekend.”
According to Indian Meteorological Department cyclonic circulation lies over Lakshadweep and the adjoining South-East Arabian Sea, and may move westwards (into the open waters and away from the Kerala coast) without any intensification during next two days.

This is normally taken to mean intensification into a cyclone and a movement towards the Oman/Yemen coast as has often happened in recent years. But not this year, the IMD seemed to suggest. Instead, it would strengthen cross- equatorial monsoon flows over the Southern parts of South Arabian Sea, favouring the advance of the monsoon during the next two days.
