Arab Weather - The latest weather maps and computer simulations from Arab Weather indicate the development of a tropical system in the Indian Ocean. It is now a tropical depression, according to the surrounding weather conditions, and is active in the Indian Ocean waters west of Indonesia.

According to the available data, the tropical system is still in the tropical depression phase, based on the air pressure and winds associated with it. The lowest air pressure is 1001 hectopascals at the center of the depression, and it is moving slowly westward, with wind speeds around the center of the depression reaching 60 km/h and gusts exceeding 80 km/h.

Is the tropical depression moving towards the Arabian Sea?

Weather forecasters at ArabiaWeather said that forecasts indicate that the tropical depression will have difficulty reaching the Arabian Sea due to its current location, which is considered far from the Arabian Sea. This requires exceptional weather conditions to develop and reach it, in addition to shear winds that hinder its movement and prevent the clouds from developing vertically and rising to the upper layers of the atmosphere, and the lack of weather conditions that would facilitate its development.

Therefore, the latest weather forecast indicates that it is likely to fade as it continues moving westward over the coming days.
