Following a brief quiet spell, the Indian Ocean is set to explode with tropical activity this week as multiple cyclones may develop. The development got underway on Monday as a tropical depression developed to the east of Somalia. Up to four additional tropical cyclones may develop across the northern and southern Indian Ocean before the end of the week. The new depression near Somalia is expected to become better organized in the coming days and become a cyclonic storm as early as Wednesday, local time. Upon reaching cyclonic storm status with winds equal to a tropical storm in the Atlantic Ocean, the name Pawan would be given to the storm. A track to the west and then southwest is expected in the coming days, taking the storm closer to the coast of Somalia.
