Tropical condition over Arabian Sea intensifies into deep depression: Met

 
Muscat: The tropical condition in the southeast of the Arabian Sea has intensified into a deep tropical depression, according to Oman Meteorology Office (Oman Met) on Thursday.

In a statement, Oman Met said that the latest satellite images show the tropical condition in the southeast of the Arabian Sea has developed into a deep tropical depression with sustained wind speed around the centre between 28-33 knots.

The tropical condition will have no direct impact on the Sultanate of Oman over the next 72 hours, Oman Met said.

It is expected to continue moving west/northwest towards the centre of the Arabian Sea.

The sea level is likely to rise up (3-4) meters, with water extending along the low-lying coastal areas overlooking the Arabian Sea in the coming days.
