KARACHI: The Met Office on Wednesday forecast the formation of a tropical cyclone in Arabian Sea from May 14. “There are strong convective clouds lying over the South/Southeast Arabian Sea which consequently may lead to formation of a low-pressure area over there by 14 May morning,” it said.

The cyclone system is very likely to strengthen into a tropical cyclone by May 16 because of favourable environmental conditions.
