The Bay of Bengal is in ferment as a precursor to the birth of a depression on September 14, 2015. The storm system will form off the Andhra coast intensify and make landfall into Andhra on September 18. Very heavy rainfall is expected in Andhra and Telangana around September 18.
The rains will spread to norther Karnataka and Maharashtra as the depression moves through peninsular India and reach the Konkan coast on September 20. Mumbai or the coast just south of the city may face a deluge.
The depression will then move into the Arabian Sea and is expected to turn into tropical cyclone Chapala. The cyclone will kiss the Saurashtra coast and move south-west into the Arabian Sea. Present forecasts say it may hit the coast of southern Oman on September 24-25, 2015.
Chapala will be a 986 mb central minimum pressure cyclone by the 24th. Nothing to sneeze at.
