Cyclone Shakti: What You Need to Know
Cyclone Shakti has been making waves lately, and the latest update from the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) reveals that this severe cyclonic storm has weakened over the past six hours. Now, it’s categorized as a cyclonic storm and is currently sitting about 910 kilometers southwest of Karachi, specifically around latitude 19.6°N and longitude 60.4°E.
What does this mean for us? The storm is expected to continue moving east-southeast and is likely to weaken into a depression within the next 24 hours. However, it’s still important to keep an eye on it, especially if you’re in the coastal regions of Sindh and Balochistan. Today, you might see some isolated light rain, but the real concern lies with the sea conditions.
Speaking of the sea, if you’re a fisherman or know someone who is, it’s a good time to stay on dry land. The PMD has advised against venturing into the deep sea until at least October 7, as rough waters and squally winds reaching speeds of 70 to 90 kilometers per hour are expected along the Sindh coast. These conditions can be dangerous, especially with gale-force winds near the center of the storm potentially hitting up to 100 km/h.
The PMD’s Cyclone Warning Centre in Karachi is on high alert and will continue to provide updates. It’s crucial for everyone to stay informed and heed the advisories issued. The safety of you and your loved ones should always come first!
