Abstract

The concurrence of low stratus clouds over and off Yemen coast and adjoining Arabian coast during summer months is studied in this paper. It is found to be a regular occurrence, onset of these clouds agreeing with the advancement of southwest monsoon to, and disappearance agreeing with Its withdrawal from west Rajasthan. The clouds are present throughout this period, they extend well over the Arabian Sea. The probable cause for these clouds has been investigated, It is suggested that the variation of the size of the cloud over Arabian Sea has some connection with the monsoon activity over India.
