Arab Weather - The latest satellite images and monitoring centers indicate that the tropical condition in the Arabian Sea has developed into a tropical storm, and it has been given the name Shakti, according to the naming system used in the northern Indian Ocean. Wind speeds around the storm's center are estimated at 30-40 knots, with expectations that it will continue moving southwestward toward the central Arabian Sea.
Experts at the Arab Weather Center indicated that although the tropical depression falls within a low wind shear zone, which is a positive factor for its development, in addition to the fact that the surface waters of the Arabian Sea are about 28-29 degrees Celsius high, which is also a stimulating factor for the tropical depression to gain sufficient energy to continue its growth and increase its structural organization. However, the tropical depression is directing dry northerly winds as it moves west and southwestward, coming from Pakistani territory.
Advanced computer modeling within the Arab Weather app indicates that the tropical system will face dry northerly winds coming from Pakistan, in addition to wind injection from the upper subtropical high centered southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, which is stifling the tropical system and preventing it from continuing its westward movement in the coming days.
The situation will be monitored moment by moment, and you will be informed of the latest developments as soon as they are released.
