Somalia Districts hit by 2012 Tropical Cyclone Murjan

This layer shows Somalia Districts struck by 2012 TC Murjan. They include, Bossaso, Bandarbeyla, Iskushuban, Garoowe and Eyl District. TC Murjan formed over the south Arabian Sea in association with an active inter tropical convergence zone during last week of October 2012. Moving west-southwestwards, it crossed Somalia coast between 1700 and 1800 UTC of 25th October near lat. 9.80N and long. 50.80E. The system could maintain its intensity of cyclonic storm till landfall, basically due to low to moderate vertical wind shear.
