      On December 16, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of   
      a short-lived cyclone losing the struggle to strengthen over the   
      Arabian Sea off the western coast of India.   
      
      Tropical Cyclone 07A formed from the remnants of Tropical Cyclone   
      Mandous, which made landfall on December 9 near the town of   
      Mamallapuram in the state of Tamil Nadu, on the southeast coast of   
      India. Mandous carried maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80.5 km/h)   
      shortly prior to landfall and quickly weakened to a depression after   
      moving over the coast. The depression continued moving westward and   
      once it moved across the western Indian coast on December 12, the   
      rag-tag remnants began to coalesce, becoming a tropical depression with   
      maximum sustained winds of 15 mph (24 km/h). By December 14, 07A   
      achieved Tropical Cyclone status with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph   
      (80.5 km/h).   
      
      On the evening of December 16, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued   
      its last advisory on Tropical Cyclone 07A. At that time, the system was   
      located about 602 miles (969 km) southeast of Masirah Island with   
      maximum sustained winds of 40 mph (64 km/h). The system was moving   
      westward and facing strong vertical windshear. According to the   
      advisory, the unfavorable conditions expected going forward mean that   
      it is “not long for this world”. The advisory expected that 07A would   
      continue to weaken, and would dissipate slowly over open ocean.
