Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tropical Cyclone Gulab made landfall in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, India on September 26, 2021. At landfall, the storm sported maximum sustained winds of about 56 km/h (90 km/h) according to a report by published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Services' website, Reliefweb. Once over land, Gulab weakened quickly and transitioned to a depression as it crossed India.

On September 29, the remnants of Gulab moved over the north-eastern Arabian Sea. By September 30, the system had strengthened and was re-named Tropical Cyclone Shaheen. Several reporting agencies, including the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) used the name Tropical Cyclone Shaheen-Gulab. At 0300 UTC on October 2 (11:00 p.m. EDT on October 1) the JTWC advised that Shaheen-Gulab had strengthened substantially, now carrying maximum sustained winds of about 75 mph (120 km/h). This is the equivalent of a weak Category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Shaheen-Gulab was located about 290 mi (467 km) west of Karachi, Pakistan and was tracking west-northwestward. A landfall over Oman was expected.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Shaheen-Gulab on October 1. At the time the image was acquired, the system sported strong circulation around a cloud-filled eye. Strong winds and rain were affecting the Makran Coast of southeastern Iran and southwestern Pakistan.
