The existing depression over south coastal Oman and adjoining Yemen is expected to dissipate without any adverse weather in India, but the IMD is watching out for another low-pressure area likely over southeast and adjoining east-central Arabian Sea during the next 48 hours.
According to the latest bulletin by the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre, the weather condition may concentrate into a "depression and intensify further and move towards Gujarat and Maharashtra coastal areas over the next four-five days". The probability of cyclogenesis, the formation of a depression, was high, it said.
The Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea have witnessed "above normal" cyclogenesis over the past two years.
Scientists and health, environment and humanitarian experts from leading organisations have sounded an "on another level" warning of increased "risks of combination of lockdown, extreme weather and climate change" as the northern hemisphere enters the "heat, fire and storm season".
The meteorological summer in the northern hemisphere and the Atlantic hurricane season are beginning next week.
Experts from organisations like Red Crescent Climate Centre, UNICEF-France, Lancet Countdown, UN World Food Programme and Nairobi-based Power Shift Africa say the upcoming season of heatwaves, tropical storms and fires could be "made even more deadly this year by the combination of a world in lockdown hit by events worsened by climate change".
