Expectation
Through numerical models and reports issued by the regional hurricane monitoring centre, the tropical depression is expected to deepen more and become a tropical storm in the next 24 hours, and its path will be towards the west to northwest in the Arabian Sea, where the wind speed ranges between 60 to 80 kmph around the centre.
Impact on the country
There is an indirect effect on the country by the flow of moisture from the Arabian Sea on the eastern and southern regions, which creates the chance for the formation of some cumulus clouds that may be accompanied by rain.
