There is a No Name storm in the Northern Indian Ocean/Southern Arabian Sea that looks to go ashore in Somalia. Is this something that happens with any frequency, or is it pretty rare? Here is a link.

Isn't there a cold current near the Somali coast that usually kills or dramatically weakens any TC's that venture that way?

SSTS throughout the northern Indian Ocean favor TC development.

Westerly shear now causing weakening...won't be much of a system once it moves inland.
