The depression in the Arabian Sea has turned into a tropical cyclone last night (June 9, 2014) at 10 PM GMT. says the JTWC. The JTWC has named it 02A.

The criteria for naming a tropical cyclone is that it should throw up sustained winds in excess of 62 Kph. The JTWC says that the system in the Arabian Sea had sustained winds of 35 knots (65 kph) last night at 10 PM GMT.
