A new cyclone is taking shape, east of Somalia in the Arabian Sea and is expected to make a landfall in coastal Oman and Yemen later this week.
However, as reported by the Met Office on Tuesday, Pakistan’s coastline faces no threat from the cyclone and no effects will be witnessed here.
According to AccuWeather, a tropical low will pass just east of Yemen’s Socotra Island through Wednesday. The tropical system will bring gusty winds and downpours to Socotra from late Tuesday into early Friday.
A continued track toward the north and northwest will take this cyclone toward southern Oman, with landfall possible late Friday or Saturday, said the weather forecasting website.
This storm could strengthen into a cyclone equal in strength to a hurricane in the Atlantic or East Pacific oceans, the media outlet added.
