The Wunderground blog said today that "In the North Indian Ocean, Cyclonic Storm Nanauk has winds of 65mph, gusting to 80mph, with a pressure of 986mbars. Movement is West-Northwest at 8mph. Located in the Arabian Sea and is expected to briefly become a category 1 storm before weakening again. May fall apart before it even reaches a landmass."

A senior professor from the department of meteorology and oceanography, AU, felt that the present system in the Arabian Sea indicated the intensification of a severe cyclone near the Oman coast. "The system has winds with a speed up to 62 kmph and within two days it will have winds of over 90 kmph. The IMD is likely to name it Nanauk as suggested by Myanmar. It is likely to move towards Gujarat and touch north Oman," the professor said.

It now seems that the El Nino in the Pacific may be suddenly turning favourable for the monsoon in India. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has said now that the El Nino might be ending, with the basin now turning towards La Nina, its alter ego.

Tropical Storm 02A remains over the Arabian Sea between India and Oman. The storm continues to become better organized and is expected to strengthen through Friday as it turns toward the northwest and approaches Oman.
An increase in wind shear and dry air interacting with the cyclone will likely lead to weakening as it approaches Oman and any threat for heavy rains will be limited to the sparsely populated eastern coastline.
INCOMPLETE....WORK IN PROGRESS....
