Cyclone Tej Intensifies Into Severe Cyclonic Storm

After developing during the previous several days in the southwest Arabian Sea, an Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm (ESCS) known as "Tej" has persisted in its northwesterly motion towards the shore of the Arabian Peninsula.

Cyclone Tej has been moving northwestward during the last 12 hours, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), and is currently "centered around latitude 14.4 °N and longitude 53.2 °E."

The brewing storm is located "about 300km southwest of Salalah (Oman), 220km southeast of Al Ghaydah (Yemen), and 1520km southwest of Gwadar (Pakistan)."

Furthermore, the greatest sustained surface winds of the storm are 150–160 km/h, with gusts up to 180 km/h.

Furthermore, the Met Office reports that the sea state is quite high right now, with maximum wave heights of 35 feet around the system center.

By midnight, the system is predicted to continue traveling northwest and approach the Yemeni shore close to Al Ghaydah as a very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS), with winds packed at 120–130 km/h with gusts up to 150 km/h.

It is crucial to remember that this method won't have any effect on any of Pakistan's coastal regions.

Most of Sindh, one of Pakistan's coastal provinces, could see dry weather during the next four days, according to PMD's Daily Forecast.

While dry weather is predicted for the next several days, severe winds and thunderstorms are anticipated to occur in and around some regions of Balochistan today.
