WIDESPREAD DUST REPORTED IN BHOPAL,MADHYA PRADESH**************


THE SUPER DUST STORM OF THE MIDDLE EAST WHICH GRIPPED SINDH,GUJARAT,RAJASTHAN AND SOME PARTS OF NORTH INDIA STRETCHING AS FAR AS SRINAGAR HAS REACHED CENTRAL INDIA TODAY AS THE DRAMATIC DUST PLUME CHANGED ITS PATH. 


WIDESPREAD DUST HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE EARLY MORNING TODAY IN MADHYA PRADESH WHICH IS BEING CONFIRMED BY THE VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY AND THE COLOUR COMPOSITE SPECTRUM ALSO







AS SEEN FROM THE ABOVE COLOR COMPOSITE SATELLITE IMAGERY, THE MAJOR DUST PLUME WHICH CAN BE NOTED IN THE CENTRAL ARABIAN SEA ORIGINATING FROM LOWER SAUDI ARABIA HAS GRIPPED CENTRAL INDIA,WESTERN INDIA AND NORTHERN INDIA ALSO..


REPORTS AND FORECASTS-

As was expected, the conditions are IMPROVING FURTHER FOR MIDDLE EAST I.E GULF COUNTRIES,OMAN. THE PAST 7-8 HOURS OF DATA SHOWS IMPROVING VISIBILITY AND LESS REPORTS OF WIDESPREAD DUST~ HOWEVER AS WAS EXPECTED, THERE ARE STILL SOME SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES IN THE AIR FAR LESS THAN WHAT WAS ON 19TH AND 20TH MARCH

CONDITIONS ARE ALSO IMPROVING IN RIYADH AND OTHER SAUDI ARABIA REGION.

SINDH-
THE INTENSITY OF DUST HAS REDUCED IN SINDH REGION AND OTHER PARTS OF PAKISTAN. HOWEVER THE DATAS ARRIVING STILL INDICATE A MODERATE TO MINOR DUST PRESENT WITH REPORTS OF BLOWING SAND ALSO

INDIA-


THE DUST HAS GRIPPED SEVERELY IN GUJARAT,RAJASTHAN AREAS. THE SATELLITE IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS THE LARGE PLUME OVER THESE AREAS


THE DUST PLUME HAS ALSO MIGRATED TOWARDS MADHYA PRADESH REACHING BHOPAL


AS OF 0430GMT, THE SOUTHERN LIMIT OF DUST PLUME IS FEW KILOMETERS SOUTH-WEST OF BHOPAL CITY AND IS PROGRESSING SOUTH. 


FORECAST- 






Right now, 
A cold front is being driven across Saudi Arabia which is confirmed from the cloud pattern. The Cold Front is expected to advance further south-east. A Widespread dust is still present over Saudi Arabia. If this cold front happens to advance further, it will kick off the dust in the Arabian Sea which may result into the upsurge in the amount of dust over Arabian Sea. 


In India, a system of two low pressures is pulling the wind and subsequently the dust plume. One low pressure is offshore Goa-Karnataka border while the other one is somewhere over the North-East part of Central India which has caused the perpendicular shape of the plume and advancement of the plume in Central India


***MIDDLE EAST,OMAN 
CONDITIONS WILL BE IMPROVING FURTHER WITH SOME SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES TODAY. 


*** IN MUMBAI WHERE THE DUST IS STILL BEING REPORTED CONDITIONS WILL WORSEN IN THE AFTERNOON PERIOD AS THE ADJACENT PLUME MAKES ITS ENTRY. 
SOME OBSCURING VIEWS ARE VERY LIKELY WITH MINOR DIP IN THE VISIBILITY THIS NOON 


*** THE SYSTEM OF LOW PRESSURE WILL ADVANCE THE DUST FURTHER SOUTHWARDS AND THE DUST WILL BE ENTERING MAHARASHTRA THIS AFTERNOON TO EVENING PERIOD. 


VOLUME WILL BE LESS BUT AREAS LIKE NAGPUR AND VICINITY SHALL GET TO SEE A TRAILOR OF THE EVENT WITH OBSCURED VIEWS OF THE AIR,ATMOSPHERE


*** FOR SINDH, CONDITIONS WILL FURTHER IMPROVE TODAY. HOWEVER SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES WILL BE THERE IN ATMOSPHERE ATLEAST TODAY


INDIA- 


*** THE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO WORSEN FOR CENTRAL INDIA PARTICULARLY IF THE LOW PRESSURES MAINTAIN THEIR STRENGTH. IT MAY RESULT IN PULLING OF THE DUST FROM WESTERN PARTS TO CENTRAL PARTS


THE CONDITIONS IN GUJARAT AND RAJASTHAN ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE SLIGHTLY WITH SOME VISIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS. HOWEVER SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES WILL BE THERE CAUSING ANOTHER DAY COVERED WITH DUST


*** NAGPUR-


THE CITY MAY ENCOUNTER THE DUST TODAY EVENING. 


********** IF THE DUST OVER CENTRAL INDIA WEAKENS THEN NAGPUR WILL NOT RECEIVE THE DUST AND CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE**************


SHORTLY UPDATING ON IT
