Thiruvananthapuram: A depression is forming over the Southeast Arabian Sea, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). It is predicted to continue northwest and intensify into a deep depression by Tuesday.

If the low-pressure area does concentrate into a cyclonic storm, it will be named Cyclone Biparjoy.

“The track of the cyclone is not clear as of now. Few models are indicating its movement in the northerly direction along the West Coast of the country. Some models indicate its movement to the north initially and re-curvature to the north-northeast direction towards Omen and Yaman," reported private weather forecaster Skymet on Monday.

The cyclone will assist the monsoon current in its arrival in Mumbai. Between June 8 and June 10, the coasts of Karnataka and Maharashtra may experience rough to extremely rough seas. And between June 9 and June 12, over the Gujarat coast.
