Forecast:

The System is tracking towards Somalia and away from India so this System will not affect India.  Yesrday, IMD expected the the Deep Depression to strengthen further to a Cyclonic Storm, however, now as per latest Bulletin they do not expect the System to strengthen further to a Cyclonic Storm.  Currently as per UW-CIMSS the wind speed is 55 knots( 1 minute average wind speed basis). As per JTWC wind speed is 40 knots ( 1 minute average wind speed basis) while as per IMD the wind speed is 30 knots ( 3 minute average wind speed basis). RSMC/IMD is the official agency monitoring the North Indian Cyclones and so their word if final for this System.

Caution: Refer/Rely on IMD/RSMC Bulletins/Advisories.
