Super Cyclonic Storm - Kyarr - continues to maintain its winds intensity up to 270 kilometers an hour, swirling 750 kilometers southwest off Karachi coast with least threats to the country's shoreline, the Met Office said on Monday.
The Kyarr that has grown into category 4 Super Cyclonic Storm is barreling northwestwards likely to strike the Omani coast. The storm is likely to dissipate after Nov 2, which is likely to unleash rain with wind-thunderstorm in Karachi and other parts of lower Sindh after Oct 30. "No direct threat to Pakistan's coasts," Chief Meteorologist, Sarfraz told Business Recorder.
He said that the Kyarr is stationary at present, which is probably to hit Oman coast with wind intensity between 250 kilometers and 270 kilometers an hour. Fishermen Cooperative Society has also called back the fishing boats operating deep sea to the moorage keeping in view the Kyarr super intensity, according to the FCS spokesman. The Kyarr is stationed at latitude 18.3 N and longitude 64.8 E with winds speed of 130 nautical miles, which is probably to scale back into storm of category 3 and subsequently into category 1 after 72 hours that will sustain for next 120 hours. The Super Cyclonic Storm is expected to prevail on the Arabian Sea until Nov 2, according to the Tropical Storm Risk. The storm that may be still 720 kilometers off Karachi coast has virtually triggered waves to flow into coastal residential areas of Keamari, Hawksbay, Baba and Bhit islands, and other areas. "It is the second time in the last 24 hours that seawater level grew into our alleys and homes," residents of Keamari told Business Recorder.
In the next 24 hours: Karachi is expected to receive duststorm with a light rain. Temperature may range up to 36 degrees Celsius and humidity 45 percent. Partly cloudy to complete cloudy weather is likely to prevail.
