Rumours of another cyclone dispelled

MUSCAT — The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) has withdrawn the cyclone watch in the Arabian Sea apparently in the face of invading westerly systems sweeping the northern fringes of the basin one after the other
The cyclone watch put out on Monday had depicted a system of moderate strength making a landfall over Oman/Yemen around May 29
But the latest seven-day forecasts valid from yesterday did not indicate any significant weather event for the region
The Times of Oman office was flooded with phone calls after a television station based in India reported a possibility of a cyclone in the west Arabian Sea, with the ECMWF expecting a yet-to-be-born rogue circulation to spin up to class-matching strength. When we contacted an official at the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation and Meteorology, he ruled out any possibility at this juncture and added that an accurate forecast could be provided only 78 hours in advance. He also urged the citizens not to believe in rumours, unconfirmed stories and create panic situations
He said the department has been providing and updating the citizens and residents with accurate weather forecasts everyday and special bulletins in case of any unusual developments. The report that originated on Monday read like this: “The system is forecast to develop in the west-central Arabian Sea and steer itself later into a north-northwest direction for lateral movement
“Expected to make a landfall over the Yemen/Oman coast around May 29, the cyclone will bear the moniker Abe, according to the official storm naming protocol”
The report also said that unlike the unusual weather condition Gonu, which hit Oman early June last year, the intensity of this storm would be slow this time
والله اعلم:)
