The Indian Metrological Department has predicted that a low-pressure area is very likely to form over the southeast Arabian Sea around May 14 morning. It is very likely to concentrate into a depression over the Lakshadweep area and adjoining southeast and east-central the Arabian Sea by May 15. It is very likely to move north north-westwards and intensify further into a cyclonic storm over east-central Arabian Sea around May 16 and continue to move north north-westwards for some more time with further intensification.
As the effect of this system, squally winds of speed 40-50 kmph gusting to 60 kmph is very likely along and off the coast of Goa from May 15 onwards. Fishermen out in the deep sea are advised to return by May 14, and avoid venturing into the east-central Arabian sea from that day (May 14).
An increase in rainfall activity over Goa is very likely from May 15 onwards. Heavy rainfall is very likely on May 15-16 over North Goa and South Goa districts. Winds of speed 40-50kmph gusting to 60 kmph are very likely along and off the coast from May 15.
