Weather Advisory 1

Tropical Cyclone 02A (NANAUK) in Arabian Sea

The Tropical Cyclone 02A (Nanauk), located at Lat. 18N and Long. 64E, about 680
kms south-southwest of Karachi, is likely to move further west-northwest ward (towards
Oman Coast) with a speed of 10 km/hr. The TC 02A is likely to further intensify into a
Severe Tropical Cyclone in next 24 hours with a maximum sustained wind speed of 50-
60 knots gusting up to 80 knots. After 48 hours, the TC may start weakening gradually
and there is high probability of its dissipation over the water (near Oman Coast) before
making landfall.
None of the area of Pakistan is under threat, however some isolated rain/thundershowers
expected along Sindh-Mekran coast on Friday/Saturday. The sea conditions along
Pakistan coast may be rough to very rough from Friday evening to Sunday night.
Therefore the fishermen of Sindh and Balochistan are advised not to venture in open sea
during the period.
