The UAE monitors a potential tropical depression in the Arabian Sea

 The weather bureau of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is reportedly monitoring a potential tropical depression in the Arabian Sea, a region of sea in the northern Indian Ocean.

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) of the UAE said in a statement that forecasting models showed a depression forming around June 8 in the Arabian Sea. The NCM has further said in a statement that the depression is moving north towards the coasts of the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Other models showed a weak tropical depression to the south of the Arabian Sea and the coast of Yemen near Socotra Island. The NCM also revealed that no disruption is expected for the UAE this week.

The NCM also said in a statement, “The centre will continue to provide you with the latest updates and urges everyone to follow the bulletins and reports issued by the centre and refrain from spreading rumours.”

On June 5, the maximum temperature in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, was 43°C. Dubai, a popular city in the UAE, was 41°C. 

Earlier, NCM said, “The numerical weather prediction models indicate a probability of tropical conditions over the south of the Arabian Sea by the end of next week.”

Earlier in 2019, the UAE was impacted by Cyclone Kyarr. It caused heavy rain and flooding across the UAE. Over 20 homes in the Al Bardi area of Kalba in the UAE were affected by the cyclone. 

In 2021, Cyclone Shaheen affected the UAE and Oman. According to the UAE’s National, Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Management Authority, some regions of the UAE on the Arabian Sea coastline were also affected.

According to Oman’s National Committee for Emergency Management (NCEM), some people were also killed by a landslide in flash flooding as Tropical Cyclone Shaheen pummeled the country.

Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries.
