KARACHI – Sindh’s capital and several areas of Balochistan are likely to experience heavy rainfall in the coming days as low-pressure system in the Arabian Sea is turning into a cyclonic circulation.
Sindh Chief Meteorological Officer Sardar Sarfraz told media that a low-pressure area surfaced over the southeast Arabian Sea at around latitude 11.0 N & longitude 66.0 E at about 1,550km southwest of the port city.
He said the current weather system is likely to intensify further into a depression and move initially in the northwest direction in light of current conditions. Amid the threat, officials are having an eye on low-pressure areas.
The cyclone in the making was dubbed Biparjoy by Bangladesh, which translates into destruction.
Arabian Sea is notorious for cyclones, especially during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.
