Arabian Sea Host a Low Pressure ..

APPROXIMATELY 490 NM WEST OF COCHIN, INDIA. ANIMATED INFRARED
      SATELLITE IMAGERY DEPICTS A LARGE AREA (ABOUT 800 NM IN DIAMETER) OF
      INTENSIVE DEEP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH AN ILL-DEFINED LOW-LEVEL
      CIRCULATION CENTER. A 221657Z METOP-B MICROWAVE IMAGE REVEALS WEAK
      AND FRAGMENTED CONVECTIVE BANDING BROADLY WRAPPING TOWARDS THE
      CENTER. UPPER-LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE DISTURBANCE IS LOCATED IN
      A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT OF MODERATE (10 TO 20 KNOT) VERTICAL WIND
      SHEAR OFFSET BY EXCELLENT OUTFLOW, AS EVIDENT IN THE WATER VAPOR
      IMAGERY. ADDITIONALLY, WARM SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE CONDUCIVE
      FOR DEVELOPMENT. NAVGEM AND GFS MODELS FAVOR DEVELOPING THIS SYSTEM,
      AFFECTING THE NORTHWEST ARABIAN SEA IN THE EXTENDED TAUS. MAXIMUM
      SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS. MINIMUM SEA
      LEVEL PRESSURE IS ESTIMATED TO BE NEAR 1007 MB. THE POTENTIAL FOR
      THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE WITHIN THE NEXT 24
      HOURS IS LOW.

Deep Depression intensifies into "Cyclone HUDHUD"




The Cyclonic Storm 'HUDHUD' over southeast Bay of Bengal moved west­northwestwards and lay centered at
1730 hours IST of 8th October, 2014 near lat.12.8°N  and long 91.0° E about 970 km southeast of Gopalpur and
1000 km east­southeast of Vishakhapatnam. The system would continue to move west­northwestwards, intensify
further into a severe cyclonic storm during next 24 hours and into a very severe cyclonic storm during  subsequent
36 hours. The system would cross north Andhra Pradesh & south Odisha coasts between Visakhapatnam &

Super Typhoon Vongfong explodes, becomes most intense storm on Earth in 2014





Super Typhoon Vongfong has rapidly intensified over the past 24 hours, from the equivalent of a category two hurricane to a monster typhoon with 155 mph wind speeds, and an estimated central pressure of 908 millibars.
Based on satellite estimates of central pressure, Vongfong is now the most intense storm on Earth so far in 2014, and forecast models suggest it could rival the intensity of deadly Typhoon Haiyan of 2013 over the next 24 hours.
During the 24 hours between Monday and Tuesday mornings, Vongfong ballooned from wind speeds of 89 mph to 168 mph, based on satellite estimates. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimates that Typhoon Vongfong has maximum winds of 155 mph on Tuesday morning, though this is likely a conservative estimate.
Vongfong is now the sixth super typhoon of 2014, with winds speeds over 150 mph.
