The National Centre of Meteorology, NCM, has expected that the tropical depression located Southeast of the Arabian Sea will weaken to low pressure on Tuesday, noting that it will have no effect on the country.
According to the Centre, the tropical depression formed in the Bengal Gulf and began moving on Saturday morning from southern India heading towards the southeast of the Arabian Sea.

In its recent report on the expected tropical case in the Arabian Sea, NCM said that the depression is located Southeast of the Arabian Sea at a latitude of 10.4 degrees North and longitude 69.4 degrees East, moving westward at speed 14 km/h, with wind speed around the centre range from 55 to 65 km/h accompanied with rainy clouds.
