KARACHI: The Meteorological department on Tuesday evening forecast cloudy weather with chances of light rain and dust storm in the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan over the next 24 hours under the influence of super Cyclone Kyaar that has developed in the Arabian Sea.

It said the super cyclone is gradually losing its intensity. “It has come down one stage — from the category of a ‘super cyclonic storm’ to an ‘extremely severe cyclonic storm’ as it’s gradually losing its wind speed, which was 250-279km per hour yesterday and 230-240km per hour today,” explained Sardar Sarfaraz on behalf of the Met department.

Over the next few days, the cyclone would move parallel to the coast of Oman and Yemen, he added.

According to the weatherman, there are chances of light to moderate rain along the Sindh coast most probably during Wednesday and Thursday nights.

The situation of flooding in the low-lying areas of Sindh and Balochistan would significantly improve by Thursday evening, he said.
