Islamabad: Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning regarding the formation of a potential tropical cyclone over the Southeast Arabian Sea.
According to the PMD's alert, the low-pressure area (LPA) over the Southeast Arabian Sea has developed into a Depression, indicating a strong LPA.
It is currently located near Latitude 11.5 N & Longitude 66.0 E, approximately 1,500km south of Karachi.
Favorable environmental conditions, including a sea surface temperature of 30-31°C, low vertical wind shear, and upper-level divergence, suggest that the system may intensify further into a tropical storm within the next 18 to 24 hours.
