Arabian Sea Tropical Cyclone 1A Is Officially Named ASHOBAA

ARABIAN SEA TROPICAL CYCLONE ASHOBAA WARNING

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has named Arabian Sea cyclone 1A as 'ASHOBAA".

All forecast models agree that the cyclone will intensify further in the next 36 hours as it moves in a north westerly direction.

After that there is a good chance that the tropical cyclone might move onto northern Oman by June 10, 2015, but there is still some disagreement amongst computer models.

Keep in touch for our latest updates.
