Monitoring: A tropical depression in the middle of the Arabian Sea is moving west towards the south of the Arabian Peninsula, with expectations of it deepening in the coming few days.

From the Arab Weather Center - The latest satellite images and global observatories indicate the presence of a tropical depression east of the central Arabian Sea with wind speeds around the center of about 25 knots, and it is approximately 1,200 kilometers away from the Sultanate's coasts overlooking the Arabian Sea.

The tropical system is expected to deepen into a deep tropical depression in the coming few days.

The computer simulation results at the Arab Weather Center indicate expectations that the tropical system will deepen and transform into a deep tropical depression within the next few days, in light of the rotational consistency around the center of the depression in the low and middle layers of the atmosphere, with expectations that it will continue moving westward towards the coasts of the Dhofar and Al Wusta Governorates.

God willing, the tropical depression’s impact on the Sultanate is expected to coincide with the approach of a shallow low-pressure trough from the north. This weather system will lead to rainfall of varying intensity, starting from the coastal areas overlooking the Arabian Sea on Monday/Tuesday night, and gradually spreading on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to most governorates.

The indirect effects of the tropical condition will, God willing, affect parts of the UAE, Yemen, and the Rub' al Khali region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

And God knows best.
