Such a weather has developed in the Arabian Sea near Gujarat that has baffled scientists. Usually, storms form in the sea. Then they come to the land and rain. Here, the opposite is happening. Rain occurred due to a low-pressure system over the land of Gujarat. After this, a deep depression was seen in the Arabian Sea. Now this weather is turning into a cyclone in the Arabian Sea. Its name is Asna.
For the first time since 1976, i.e. after 48 years, such a commotion has been created in the sky. When a storm crosses a large part of the land and enters the ocean and turns into a cyclone. The most surprising thing is the timing of this storm. Usually, during the monsoon season, the temperature of the Arabian Sea remains below 26 degrees Celsius.

Cyclones form when the temperature goes above 26.5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, after July and till September, the possibility of cyclone formation in this area is very low. Consider it rare. The western part of the Arabian Sea remains cold during monsoon. On top of that, dry winds blow from the Arabian Peninsula. In such a situation, cyclones do not form.
Currently, Cyclone Asna is located 170 km west of Nalia in Gujarat, 160 km south of Karachi in Pakistan and 430 km east-southeast of Pasni in Pakistan.
Such cyclones usually do not form in this season
The current situation is completely opposite. Compared to the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea, cyclones are less common in the western Arabian Sea because the conditions there are less favorable for the formation of a cyclone. For a cyclone to form, the sea water must be heated to 26.5 degrees Celsius up to a depth of 50 meters.

The Bay of Bengal experiences more storms than the Arabian Sea
If we look at the history, the North Indian Ocean produces only five cyclones every year in comparison to the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. Or rather, it produces only five cyclones. That is, only 5 to 6 percent of the global average. Whereas, the Bay of Bengal has four times more cyclones than the Arabian Sea. Or they are formed there.
Is this actually the result of global warming, the question arises
These cyclones are mostly seen in the months of May and November. Former Secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Madhavan Rajeevan, has also expressed his surprise on his X handle. He has written that he is surprised to see the system formed over the North Arabian Sea. We have always known that the North Arabian Sea remains cold at this time. If a cyclone is forming there, it means it is hot. Which is the result of global warming and rising temperatures at the local level.
Cyclonic Storm ASNA lay centered at 1730 hours IST of 30th August, 2024 near 170 km west of Naliya (Gujarat), 160 km south of Karachi (Pakistan) and 430km east-southeast of Pasni (Pakistan).

Due to this type of storm, the question is arising whether this is happening due to global warming. Scientists of the country and the world should investigate this. So that in future this rare phenomenon of a storm going from land to sea and becoming a cyclone can be predicted.
