Due to the upper air cyclonic circulation over the east-central Arabian Sea, off the North Karnataka-Goa coasts, a low-pressure area has formed today over the east-central Arabian Sea, near the southern Goa coast. The associated cyclonic circulation extends up to the middle tropospheric levels and is expected to move northward, intensifying into a depression within the next 36 hours.
