Arabian Sea Storm Update: Nov 23, 2014: Little Chance Of A Cyclone: Heavy Rains In Sri Lanka Expected

ARABIAN SEA UPDATE: 23 NOVEMBER, 2014

Latest  forecasts say there is no chance of a cyclone developing in the Arabian Sea. The expected low pressure area will move westwards towards Aden weakening rapidly. No rains are expected in Oman in the near future.

But the area of the Indian Ocean around Srilanka is very disturbed with a low pressure churning around. Very heavy rains are expected in Sri Lanka in the coming 10 days. Heavy rains expected in Tamil Nadu from November 27-29, 2014 because of the low pressure.

HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED IN SRILANKA AND COASTAL TAMIL NADU IN THE COMING 2 WEEKS

----------------------------------------

The storm expected to form in the Arabian Sea off the Indian coast at Kerala on November 27, 2014 will NOT curve northwards towards India or Pakistan but will continue towards the central Oman coast.

Initial forecasts indicated that the cyclone would move towards Oman (Pakistan, Gujarat) but now it seems it will move towards central Oman. The storm will be a 50-60 Kph storm. May mature into a cyclone. Most likely that it will remain a depression.

Very heavy rains are likely in central coastal areas on December 2-3, 2014.
