Somalia is on high alert following warning of cyclone by meteorologists along its coastline on Tuesday.
According to the meteorologist, 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 three additional tropical cyclones may develop across the northern and southern India Ocean before the end of the week.
