 has developed cyclone over East-Central Arabian Sea.){kind=link}
A cyclone may develop approximately 1075 km southeast of Karachi, where a low-pressure area (LPA) has formed over the East-Central Arabian Sea. Through an advisory published on Thursday, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) disseminated this revision. The system has been seen at longitude 71.9 E and latitude 16.4 N.
The PMD advisory noted that this low-pressure system could become a depression within the next 36 hours thanks to favourable environmental conditions. The system presents no hazard now for any coastal part of the country. Karachi’s PMD’s cyclone warning centre is keeping a close eye on developments.
Driven by the heated sea surface temperatures, the LPA developed in the Arabian Sea. Since the sea breeze is likely to stop momentarily, weather forecasters think this system could cause exceedingly hot temperatures in Karachi. Coastal regions like Karachi can experience a dramatic temperature rise when sea breezes slow down or stop.
Right now, the weather system is hovering close to India’s western coast. Should current conditions persist, it could develop further into a severe depression or maybe a cyclone around May 24 or 25. Should the system develop into a cyclone, it will be called Shakti, meaning “power.”
Meteorological specialists are closely monitoring the system’s progress over the next few days. Although there is no present threat to Pakistan’s coastal areas, the PMD will keep releasing updates depending on its observations.
