021500Z POSITION NEAR 18.4N 59.8E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 03A (PHET), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 560 NM 
SOUTHWEST OF KARACHI, PAKISTAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 08 
KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. TC 03A HAS CONTINUED TO RAPIDLY 
INTENSIFY OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS WITH THE CURRENT INTENSITY ASSESSED 
AT 125 KNOTS BASED ON THE PGTW DVORAK ESTIMATE OF 127 KNOTS. 
ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED 30 NM EYE. A MID-
LATITUDE, UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PROVIDING A POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL 
FAVORABLE FOR CONTINUED INTENSIFICATION. TC 03A CONTINUES TO TRACK 
NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF A SUBTROPICAL 
STEERING RIDGE AND IS EXPECTED TO MAKE LANDFALL ONTO THE COAST OF 
OMAN BY TAU 36, WHERE IT SHOULD SLOW AND WEAKEN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER 
LAND. IT WILL THEN BEGIN TO RECURVE AROUND THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE 
INTO THE WESTERLIES AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE IN SPEED. TC PHET SHOULD 
THEN ENTER BACK OVER THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA BY TAU 72 WITH AN 
INTENSITY OF 45 KNOTS. TC 03A WILL CONTINUE NORTHEASTWARD WITH 
LITTLE CHANCE OF INTENSIFICATION DUE TO HIGHER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR 
AND SHOULD REACH THE COAST OF PAKISTAN BY TAU 96. TC PHET WILL 
DISSIPATE AS A SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND BY TAU 120. 
THE AVAILABLE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE STILL SHOWS A SPLIT BETWEEN 
THE FASTER RECURVERS (UKMO, ECMWF, WBAR) AND THOSE THAT ARE SLOWER 
(GFDN, GFS, NOGAPS), TAKING THE SYSTEM OVER OMAN. THE MODEL GUIDANCE 
HAS CONTINUALLY SHIFTED WESTWARD WITH A SLOWER RECURVE TO THE EAST. 
THIS FORECAST FAVORS THE MODELS SLOWER TO RECURVE AND IS SIMILAR TO 
MODEL CONSENSUS, TAKING TC 03A OVER OMAN AND WEAKENING IT 
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN PREVIOUSLY FORECAST. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT 
WAVE HEIGHT AT 021200Z IS 27 FEET.

"Phet" Update: 6pm IST

"Phet" Update: 6pm IST
"PHET" has strengthened further to Very Severe Cyclonic Storm during the last 6 hours. Current location is 18.2N 60.0E about 300 Kms South East of Oman Coast. Winds are at 125 Knots with Central pressure of about 929 Mb. The Wave height is 7 meters. Defying all predictions, of re-curving at 62E, it has moved North-Northwest continuously, and has progressed towards Oman. It is expected to strengthen further and track mainly North- Northwestwards direction for the next 24 to 36 hours. Now, it is expected to initially strike the North-Eastern coast of Oman in the next 24 hrs.
The re-curving promise holds good still. After striking Oman, the storm is predicted to move North-East back into the Arabian Sea. The influence of Western Disturbance has to be watched carefully to see how this system tracks after 36 hours. Various Forecast models are differing on the final track "PHET.''
It is important for all Arabian Sea coastline countries from Oman, Iran, Pakistan & India to be watchful and closely monitor "PHET" for any track changes.
Saurashtra & Gujarat:
Even though "Phet" is more than 1100 Kms. from Saurashtra Coast, due to the Intensity of this system, we can  expect windy conditions and scattered rains in pockets for Saurashtra due to the the moisture incursion from Arabian Sea..
Oman:
"PHET" is only 300 Kms South-East of Oman Coast and due to the proximity  precautions about very windy conditions as well as flash flooding due to rains need to be taken. Most Forecast models are expecting a Recurve North Eastwards after 36 hours.

The NLM

The 'VERY SEVERE CYCLONIC STROM [VSCS]' PHET enabled SWM winds to attain the maximum northern limit of monsoon. [Even the phraseology VSCS is changed after Orissa Super cyclone in 1999.] This will help monsoon wind to blow anywhere once the PHET ceased to exist. This will lead to more variability of rainfall in space and time. At this rate Kerala and Karnataka may NOT get their due share for the month of June (or even the rest of monsoon period). It is true that each year the SWM is different and no two SWM pattern is unique. After all it is RAINFALL that the monsoon's activity and strength is measured as VIGOROUS, ACTIVE, NORMAL OR WEAK.

IMD warning
--------------------------

ARB 02/2010/15                                                                                                Dated: 02.06.2010

Time of issue: 1700 hours IST

Sub:   Very severe cyclonic storm, ‘PHET’ over westcentral Arabian Sea.

            The very severe cyclonic storm, “PHET” over westcentral Arabian Sea moved northwestwards and lay centred at 1430 hrs IST of today, 02^nd June 2010 near latitude 18.0⁰N and long. 60.5⁰E, about 1250 km west-southwest of Mumbai, 1050 km southwest of Naliya (Kutch, Gujarat), 1050 km southwest of Karachi (Pakistan) and 530 km south-southeast of Sur (Oman).

           

            The current environmental condition and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models suggest that the system would intensify further and move slowly in a north-northwesterly/northerly direction for next 24 hours, close to Oman coast and then recurve northeastwards towards Pakistan & adjoining Gujarat coast, skirting Oman coast.

           

            Based on latest analysis with NWP models and other conventional techniques, estimated track and intensity of the system are given below:

Date/Time(IST)	Position (lat. 0N/ long. 0E)	Sustained maximum surface wind speed (kmph)
02-06-2010/1430	18.0/60.5	140-150 gusting to 160
02-06-2010/1730	18.0/60.5	150-160 gusting to 170
02-06-2010/2330	18.5/60.0	160-170 gusting to 185
03-06-2010/0530	19.0/59.5	170-180 gusting to 195
03-06-2010/1130	19.5/59.5	180-190 gusting  to 205
03-06-2010/2330	20.5/59.5	200-220 gusting to 235
04-06-2010/1130	22.5/60.5	200-220 gusting to 235
04-06-.2010/2330	23.5/63.5	200-220 gusting to 235
05-06-.2010/1130	24.5/66.5	200-210 gusting to 225

            Under the influence of this system, fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls would commence over coastal areas of Saurashtra & Kutch from 4^th June 2010 and increase thereafter. Gale winds with speed reaching 65-75 kmph gusting 85 kmph would commence along and off Gujarat coast from 4^th June 2010 and increase gradually.

            Sea condition will be very high to phenomenal over north Arabian Sea and along and off Gujarat coast from 4^th June 2010. Fishermen are advised not venture into the sea. Fishermen who are in the open sea should return to the coast by 3^rd evening.

PHET IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TRACKING NORTHWESTWARD AND BEGIN TO 
ROUND THE RIDGE AXIS BY TAU 36. TC PHET IS FORECAST TO THEN BEGIN TO 
ACCELERATE IN SPEED AS IT INTERACTS WITH THE WESTERLIES AND CONTINUE 
NORTHEASTWARD, MAKING LANDFALL BEFORE TAU 96. THE MODELS ARE IN 
AGREEMENT WITH THE RECURVATURE SCENARIO INTO THE WESTERLIES, 
HOWEVER, THEY DIFFER ON WHEN THE SYSTEM WILL TURN. MODEL GUIDANCE 
HAS SPLIT WITH TWO DISTINCT CLUSTERS OF TRACKERS WITH THE TIMING OF 
THE TURN. THE EASTERN CLUSTER (ECMWF, UKMO, WBAR) INDICATES A SHARP 
RECURVATURE AND FASTER TRACK SPEEDS. THE WESTERN CLUSTER (NOGAPS, 
GFS, GFDN) INDICATES A SLOWER TRACK INTO NORTHEASTERN OMAN, THEN 
RECURVATURE INTO THE NORTHERN ARABIAN SEA. THE MODELS HAVE HAD 
DIFFICULTY DEPICTING THE RIDGE AXIS DUE TO THE SPARSE DATA REGION 
AND HAVE INCREASED IN MODEL SPREAD. MODEL CONSENSUS HAS ALSO BEEN 
TRENDING WESTWARD. THIS FORECAST IS BASED ON THE MODEL CONSENSUS AND 
TRACKS THE SYSTEM FARTHER WESTWARD AND CLOSER TO OMAN THAN THE 
PREVIOUS FORECASTS. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF TC 03A TO OMAN AROUND 
TAU 36, THE INTENSITIES ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO DECREASE AFTER TAU 
48. ALSO, AFTER INTERACTION WITH THE WESTERLIES, THE VERTICAL WIND 
SHEAR WILL INCREASE, THEREFORE TC PHET SHOULD NOT INTENSIFY FURTHER 
BEFORE MAKING LANDFALL BY TAU 96. TC 03A WILL THEN DISSIPATE AS A 
SIGNIFICANT TROPICAL CYCLONE OVER LAND BY TAU 120. MAXIMUM 
SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 020600Z IS 22 FEET

More on Cyclone "Phet" & Gujarat Showers

Tropical cyclone 03A has intensified quickly in the last 24 hours, and as a result, the storm has been renamed Tropical Storm Phet. Phet is located in the Arabian Sea, Northern Indian Ocean, and is threatening the Indian and Pakistani coastlines, NASA satellite imagery has claimed.

NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Tropical Storm Phet on June 1 at 9:11 UTC (5:11 EDT) and captured an infrared image of the cloud top temperatures. The image indicated large areas of high, cold cloud tops, as cold as -63 degrees Fahrenheit, indicating strong convection.

At 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT) on June 1, Tropical Storm Phet had maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (62 mph) with higher gusts. Phet was located about 550 miles south-southwest of Karachi, Pakistan, near 16.8 North and 62.2 East. Phet is moving to the northwest near 6 knots (7 mph).

Current landmasses threatened by Phet include: India (Gujarat), Pakistan (Sindh and Balochistan).

Phet is forecast to continue strengthening and turn northeast later this week. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center forecasts landfall by the end of the week in the border area between India and Pakistan.

Regional warnings are already in effect for the Indian and Pakistani coastlines from Thursday on. The Indian Meteorological Department's Regional Specialized Meteorological Center noted on June 1, "Under the influence of this system, fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls would commence over coastal areas of Gujarat from June 3 and increase thereafter. Squally winds with speed reaching 55-65 kmph (34-40 mph) (with higher gusts) would commence along and off Gujarat coast from June 2 and increase gradually." (ANI)

Gales blowing at a speed of 55 kmph and thunderstorm claimed two lives and injured seven in Rajkot district on Tuesday night, even as met department issued an alert for a cyclone storm, christened Phet, that may hit the state’s coast in the next 48 hours.

The hot and sultry weather underwent a dramatic change in several parts of the state, including Ahmedabad, which also witnessed lightening.

A deep depression over Arabian sea which has intensified into a cyclone storm will be preceded by stormy weather in next 24 hours, according to the met department.

Gujarat showers

Director, IMD, Gujarat, Kamaljit Ray said, “The depression over Arabian Sea moved north-westwards and lay centred about 1,030 km south-west of Naliya in Gujarat on Tuesday”.


Under the system’s influence, widespread rainfall with heavy to very heavy rainfall will be experienced on Gujarat coast from June 3 while stormy winds with speed reaching 55-65 kmph will commence off the coast from June 2 and increase gradually, a communiqué said. Meanwhile, those who died have been identified as Sanjay Baraiyya, 15, who was struck by lightening while working in an open field in Khakana village on the outskirts of Rajkot city. A woman working with him sustained severe injuries.

In Pipaliya village of Wankaner town of Rajkot district, a compound wall crashed due to windy weather, killing a woman identified as Guddiben on the spot. Six persons were also crushed under the debris and injured.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Gujarat, has alerted people in the Kutch and Saurshtra coastal areas of a tropical storm brewing in Arabian Sea, which they predict may soon upgrade to a cyclone.

Saltpan workers, fishermen and labourers working in these areas have been issued warnings by district authorities in Kutch and Porbandar, asking them not to venture into the sea for the next 24 hours.

Chief Minister Narendra Modi reviewed the preparations in an emergency meeting held on Tuesday evening with senior government officials in the wake of cyclone warning.

Sources in the Met department said the cyclone named “Phet” will pack up winds of 120 kilometer/hr around its centre. The location of the cyclone is estimated to be around 16 degree north latitude and 63 degree east longitude, about 1,030 kilometers, south-west of Naliya

05-06-.2010/0530	24.5/66.5	200-210 gusting to 225

            Under the influence of this system, fairly widespread rainfall with isolated heavy to very heavy falls would commence over coastal areas of Gujarat from 4^th June 2010 and increase thereafter. Squally winds with speed reaching 65-75 kmph gusting 85 kmph would commence along and off Gujarat coast from 4^th June 2010 and increase gradually.

            Sea condition will be very high to phenomenal over north Arabian sea and along and off Gujarat coast from 3^rd June 2010. Fishermen are advised not venture into the sea
