About the storm :
Cyclones Gulab and Shaheen were two related, consecutive tropical cyclones that caused considerable damage to South and West Asia. Gulab impacted eastern India, while Shaheen impacted Pakistan, Iran, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Gulab was the third named storm of the 2021 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, as well as the fourth named storm of the season after its reformation in the Arabian Sea as Shaheen. The cyclone's origins can be traced back to a low-pressure area situated over the Bay of Bengal on September 24. The system quickly organized, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) upgrading the system to a depression on the same day. On the next day, the system strengthened into a Cyclonic Storm, and the IMD assigned it the name Gulab. On September 26, Gulab made landfall in India's Andhra Pradesh but weakened overland, before degenerating into a remnant low on September 28. The system continued moving westward, emerging into the Arabian Sea on September 29, before regenerating into a depression early on September 30. Early on October 1, the system restrengthened into a Cyclonic Storm, which the IMD named Shaheen. The system gradually strengthened as it entered the Gulf of Oman. While slowly moving westward, the storm turned southwestward, subsequently making an extremely rare landfall in Oman on October 3, as a Category 1-equivalent cyclone. Shaheen then rapidly weakened, before dissipating the next day.
The name Gulab, suggested by Pakistan, means rose in Urdu/Hindi. The name Shaheen, provided by Qatar, means falcon in Arabic. The system overall brought heavy rain and strong winds throughout India and the Middle East, killing at least 39 people. Water-related damage was extensive, while communications were disrupted as winds downed many power lines. Hundreds of roads were closed in India. Shaheen delivered extreme rainfall to Oman, causing flooding across a wide area of the country's northeastern governorates. Muscat saw particularly heavy flooding which submerged cars and other low-lying objects. Other neighboring countries in the Arab world also experienced some rain.
