The Arabian Sea this November is in ferment. While a depression hovers around the south Oman coast and will bring rain to the country for the next 3 days, another storm is likely to be spawned in the sea near the Indian coast off Kerala on 3rd of November. This little system will at first take baby steps in a WNW direction, growing bigger all the time for the next 4 days (till Nov 7, 2011). It will then turn into a big monster and start curving gradually northward and hit the Pakistan coast on November 9, 2011.
Boy! This baby is going to be massive! As it nears the Pakistan landmass its diameter will touch the Omani coast on one side and the Gujarat coast on the other side. Huge!
Surprisingly this big girl (Keila?) will bring little or no precipitation to Oman and Gujarat but Sindh and Balochistan are in for a big big deluge on November 9, 10.
And winds? Very strong winds. Destructive would describe it well. Watch out, Pakistan!
Eight more days. Where will Keila (If I may call her so) go? Pakistan, as predicted now, or will Oman (Or Gujarat ) will face its fury?
Cyclones are very unpredictable.
