Cyclone threat ruled out by Met Office
KARACHI: The Meteorological Department has ruled out any threat of cyclone to the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan province.
According to its announcement here on Friday evening, it said that depression would still persist in Northeast Arabian Sea 600 km south east of Karachi.
"Its chances to intensify further into a Tropical Cyclone are meager at present," the Met office said in its report.
However, under the influence of this depression, widespread rain associated with gusty wind are also expected along Sindh coast from Sunday to Tuesday and along Balochistan coast from Monday to Wednesday.
The sea conditions have already become rough in Northeast Arabian Sea, and the fishermen of Sindh are advised not to venture in open sea from Saturday to Tuesday.
However, the fishermen of Balochistan may continue their activities up to Sunday.
