Tropical Cyclone NANAUK Is Coming After all! To Hit Central Oman On Friday 13, 2014

XWF PREDICTION MAP: Tropical Cyclone NANAUK as forecasted on June 10, 2014 (Tuesday)

Latest forecasts say that Tropical Cyclone NANAUK is coming! We have earlier said that a low pressure area has formed in south Arabian Sea.

This low pressure area is expected to transform into cyclone Nanauk on Sunday (June 8, 2014). The wind speeds will start gusting at above 62 Kmph. This is the threshold which the Indian Met Dept. (IMD) has set for naming a cyclone. So the tropical storm is expected to be christened "Nanauk" on Monday (June 9, 2014).

The present low pressure area will start moving in a NE direction, strengthening all the time. By the time it reaches the Indian coast off Goa on Sunday it will metamorphose into a cyclone.

After that the cyclone is expected to curve away towards Oman in a NE direction. It  will touch the coast of central Oman on June 13, 2014 (Friday). The town which will bear the brunt of the storm is Duqm.

The storm (Nanauk) will weaken slightly before it makes land fall on June 13. But when on its way it is expected that it will throw out very strong winds in excess of 50 Knots (85 Kmph).

The area around Duqm will experience very heavy rainfall.
