Global forecast models are hinting at the possibility of the North Indian Ocean spawning 2 tropical storms in the coming days this October-November 2015.
It is not certain at this stage whether the expected systems will be depressions or tropical cyclones.
The Arabian Sea storm will arise first around October 26-27. Opinions differ as to what track path it will take. One scenario is it will hit northern Yemen around November 2. Another scenario is it makes landfall into central Oman and moves north right through the country.
The Bay of Bengal cyclone (Chapala or Megh?) will come later. It will form by October end near the northern Tamil Nadu coast and then barrel through the sea in a northeasterly direction in early November. Where it may make landfall is hard to say at this stage. Andhra, Odisha, West Bengal, Bangladesh or Myanmar?
One thing is certain. The North Indian Ocean is in ferment and may throw out storm systems soon.
