News Desk

Islamabad: None of the Pakistan coastal areas is likely to be impacted by the well-marked low-pressure area prevailing over the Southwest Arabian Sea, informed the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Friday.

Due to favourable environmental conditions, the system is likely to intensify further into a depression and move in a west-northwest direction towards the Oman-Yemen coast.

According to the PMD’s Cyclone Warning Centre in Karachi, a well-marked low-pressure area (strong weather system) is lying over the Southwest Arabian Sea at around Latitude 9.5 °N and Longitude 61.5 °E, at a distance of about 1810km southwest of Karachi and 1750 km south of Gwadar.

The cyclone developed from an area of atmospheric pressure to a depression centre south-central of the Arabian Sea could hit within 48 hours. Additional information from APP.
