Cloud images from FY-2 and NOAA-AVHRR show further advance of ITCZ in the Arabian Sea sector. Regions of strong convective cloudiness have developed just south of the equator in the 60-80 E longitude. The Sagar Kanya has now entered the Indian EEZ and no data from the ship are available. No cloud pictures are available from Kaashidhoo also. At Kaashidhoo the FSU analyses indicate the boundary layer flow to be from NE.
