UAE: Cyclone Tej to have 'indirect impact' on country; rains forecast
It is expected to deepen into a category 3 cyclone in the next 24 hours
A tropical cyclone brewing in the Arabia sea will have an “indirect effect” on the UAE, the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has said. Moisture from the sea will flow into the country’s east and south, resulting in cumulus clouds accompanied by rain.
This came as the authority issued an update about Cyclone ‘Tej’. It is currently a category 2 cyclone with wind speeds of 165-175kmph.
Tej is expected to deepen into a category 3 cyclone in the next 24 hours with wind speeds of up to 190kmph.
