Latest predictions have it shearing away from Masirah & the mainland
coast of SE Oman, but they'll be watching anxiously to see if it does!

Default Severe Cyclone "Phet" ... close to Oman

Just put some images on my web page of Cat2 cyclone Phet from this morning's
overpass by the metop-a satellite. The minimum cloud top temp is -91C at
that time, probably between 17 and 18 km top, though the nearest ascent is
Seychelles.

Should keep the pirates in port.

.... change of plan! Now CAT4, and forecast to increase CAT5 *and* to
hit the coast of Oman squarely, affecting also Masirah island, at
least according to TSR.com

When you go to the Omani cyclone warning page he-

this is the latest bulletin .....

TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNING FOR SHIPPING ( HIGH SEA )


tropical cyclone warning nil

methinks some rapid re-thinking will be required!

Looks like making landfall to the east of Masirah Island, expect a lot
of flooding over a large part of Oman.

Phet hits Oman

24 hour rainfall totals as of 18hr gmt 3rd June 2010

Ras Al Hadd 80.4mm
Sur 42.4mm
Masirah 38.0mm
Qalhat 46.2mm
Joba 5.4mm
Duqm 4.2mm
Ibra 1.8mm
Yaaloni 1.4mm
Jabal Shams 0.6mm

I made aware of the situation in the office yesterday as we have
people in Oman permanently. Apparently Misirah Island had a number of
evacuation flights yesterday, but our men were deemed as 'key
personnel' so they're sitting it out in the CRC. Well we Brits never
get rattled by a bit of weather, saying that one of my colleagues
spent 3 hours on the roof of a land-rover last year in Oman when a
similar Cyclone struck, had it not been for the lorry the vehicle got
lodged on, the story may not have been so good, although the
unfortunate lorry driver was still in his cab, that time it was the
Muscat area.

Never underestimate the power of the weather.

Thank you Martin for pointing this one out.
