The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) has issued an initial alert regarding a developing weather system in the Arabian Sea, which has the potential to become a coastal cyclone.
A spokesperson from the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) stated that the system is currently located near the Lakshadweep Islands in India and is expected to move northwest.
Initial forecasts indicate that, based on its speed and intensity, the system could make landfall along Pakistan’s coastal regions in the third week of October.
“The low-pressure system may develop into a full-fledged tropical cyclone, potentially impacting Pakistan’s coastal areas,” said a statement from the press information department.
Authorities are advising coastal residents and relevant departments to stay updated on developments and advisories as the situation unfolds.
The NDMA is closely monitoring the system in collaboration with other agencies to ensure proactive measures are prepared for any potential emergencies.
