The Met Department has issued a second alert regarding a low-pressure system forming over the central Arabian Sea. Although this system has intensified since the last update, officials have reassured the public that there is no immediate threat to Pakistan’s coastal areas.
Currently situated about 900 kilometers south of Karachi, the low-pressure area is being closely monitored by meteorologists, who indicate that it could develop into a depression within the next one to two days. However, there is no risk to any coastal region of Pakistan at this time.
Should the system strengthen into a cyclone, it will be named “Dana,” a term suggested by Qatar that translates to “precious and beautiful pearl” in Arabic.
The Meteorological Department will continue to track the situation and provide updates if the system evolves into a more severe form.
In related news, the Met Office had previously forecast that Karachi could experience a mud storm followed by light drizzle. This sudden weather change is expected to bring gusty winds, reducing visibility and creating hazardous conditions on the roads.
While the drizzle may offer temporary relief from the heat, citizens are advised to take necessary precautions and limit outdoor activities during the storm. Most parts of the country are expected to remain dry, although cooler weather is anticipated in hilly areas at night, with continental air prevailing across the region.
