The Arabian Sea is on fire! | Giant thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the east, and Arab Weather explains their potential development and impact on the region.

Sinan Khalaf - Weather enthusiasts and meteorologists are turning their attention to the Arabian Sea, specifically the coast of Pakistan, where satellites are detecting the activity of giant cumulonimbus clouds, bringing heavy rainfall to Karachi and surrounding areas.

A low pressure area has begun to form in the eastern Arabian Sea.

A huge mass of thunderstorms is being monitored by satellites.

In detail, satellite images are currently detecting an atmospheric disturbance currently centered along the Pakistani coast. A large mass of cumulonimbus clouds is visible, directly impacting coastal areas with heavy rains and flooding. The weather system is expected to gradually move westward, away from the Pakistani coast, over the next 24 hours.

An important link to follow tropical disturbances in the Arabian Sea via satellite is here.

No direct impact on Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia
Arab Weather rules out the development of the tropical disturbance into a hurricane.

Regarding the possibility of the weather disturbance developing into a tropical storm or hurricane, the forecasting team at the Arab Weather Regional Center confirmed that the current weather disturbance centered to the east of the Arabian Sea will battle several deadly factors that limit its energy and prevent it from moving eastward. The most prominent of these are shear winds that work to destroy clouds and prevent their vertical growth. And God knows best.
