Impending Tropical Storm Threatens Salalah and Surrounding Areas

Direct impact on Salalah may start from tomorrow due to depression formed in Oman. The low pressure formed in the Arabian Sea has turned into a tropical low pressure, officials said.

The central part is currently about 1100 km from the Salalah coast. The wind is blowing at a speed of 37 to 50 km per hour. The Oman Meteorological Center said that the rain clouds formed with this were 900 km away from Sada Wilayat in Dhofar Governorate.

The tropical depression continues to move west-northwestward towards the coast of Oman’s Dhofar Governorate and Yemen. In the next 24 hours, it will become a tropical depression. It is also likely to become a tropical storm during the next 48 hours. It is likely to pass between Dhofar Governorate and Al-Mahra Governorate in Yemen after midnight on Monday, the warning said.

The direct impact is expected to begin on Sunday in Dhofar and Al Wusta governorates. According to the warning of Civil Aviation, there may be rainfall of 50 to 200 mm in different places. Plaintiffs will flood in. Wind speed will be 50 to 75 km per hour. The sea will be rough. Waves can reach heights of four to seven meters.

Wind speed will be 68 to 125 kmph on Monday. 200 to 600 mm of rain may be received. Plaintiffs will overflow. According to the CAA warning, waves may rise to four to seven meters on the shores of the Arabian Sea. Five years ago, on October 13, 2018, Cyclone Luban wreaked havoc west of Salalah and Yemen.
