Muscat, The National Multi-Hazard Early Warning Centre, Civil Aviation Authority, has said that it has detected tropical atmospheric activity in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.

In a statement to Oman News Agency (ONA) the Centre said, “A tropical condition may originate in the Bay of Bengal, cross the Indian peninsula and reach the Arabian Sea, with chances that it might dissipate there over the next few days.”

An official at the Centre pointed out that the current period will see the second tropical season in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal trailing monsoon winds in the area, including the Sultanate.

The official added that this season will last for three months (September, October and November), when conditions are ripe for the occurrence of tropical conditions, often developing into low pressure systems or tropical storms or tropical cyclones.

The official called upon citizens and residents to follow up circulars and reports issued by the departments concerned.
