A low-pressure system developing over the Arabian Sea has intensified into a tropical depression as of Sunday. If this system further strengthens into a tropical storm, it will be named “Dana,” a name proposed by Qatar. The depression is anticipated to strengthen into a tropical cyclone as it moves across the central Arabian Sea on Monday and Tuesday, October 14 and 15. The first potential path would see the system moving westward towards the central Arabian Sea and then making landfall along the Oman coastline. The second trajectory would take the system west-southwest towards the central Arabian Sea, eventually heading toward Socotra Island, Yemen.
