Tropical Cyclone Mekunu made landfall near Salalah, Oman and continued moving inland when two satellites provided data that were combined to give a full picture of the storm's clouds and rainfall rates. 
<p>At 0300 UTC on May 26 (11 p.m. EDT on May 25) the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued their final warning on Mekunu. At that time the center of the hurricane was located near 17.1 degrees north latitude and 53.4 degrees east longitude. That's just 41 nautical miles west of Salalah, Oman. Mekunu was moving to the northwest at 8 mph (7 knots/13 kph).
</p><p>At the time, Mekunu was still at hurricane-force with maximum sustained winds near 97 mph (85 knots/157 kph). However, the storm is expected to weaken rapidly. 
</p><p>Television coverage from the State revealed large areas of flooding in two provinces: Dhofar and al-Wusta. Reports from BBC News cited at least seven people killed from the storm on the Yemeni island of Socotra. Yemen's government has declared Socotra island a disaster zone.
</p><p>On May 26 at 12:36 a.m. EDT (0436 UTC) NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's GPM or Global Precipitation Measurement mission satellite analyzed rainfall from Tropical Cyclone Mekunu. GPM found rainfall over land was near 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) per hour and in a band of thunderstorms extending over the Arabian Sea, rainfall was heavier, falling at up to 1 inch (25 mm) per hour. The rainfall data was overlaid on a visible image from Europe’s MSG-4 or Meteosat Second Generation-4 series satellite to give a complete picture of the storm over Oman.

Mekunu is expected to dissipate inland later on May 26
