MUMBAI, MAY 31
A low-pressure area is formed into the Arabian sea which might develop into a cyclonic storm and could move towards the coasts of Maharashtra and Gujarat by June 3, a Met statement said on Sunday.
“A low-pressure area has formed over the southeast and adjoining east-central the Arabian Sea and Lakshadweep area with associated cyclonic circulation extending up to mid-tropospheric levels,” the regional Meteorological Centre, Mumbai, said in a tweet.
The met department said the low-pressure area might turn into a depression and then into a cyclonic storm, which is “very likely to move nearly northwards and reach north Maharashtra and Gujarat coasts by June 3”.
“It is very likely to concentrate into a depression over east-central and adjoining southeast Arabian Sea during the next 24 hours,” it said.
