Tropical Depression in the Arabian Sea
Meanwhile, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Oman and the Oman Met Office confirmed the formation of a tropical depression over the northeast Arabian Sea, near Gujarat, India.
Oman’s National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Centre reported that the depression is located at 22.5°N latitude and 68.8°E longitude, with wind speeds ranging from 37 to 50 km/h near its center. The system is expected to move westward toward the central Arabian Sea and may intensify over the next 48 hours, raising concerns for the coastal regions of the Arabian Peninsula and Sindh.
