The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced on Thursday that a cyclone is expected to form over the northern Arabian Sea, near the Gujarat coast, by Friday, August 30. However, it is highly unlikely that the cyclone will impact the Indian coastline. This is because the current deep depression over the Saurashtra-Kutch region is predicted to move away into the northern Arabian Sea by August 30. "DD over Saurashtra & Kachchh moved slowly W with lat 23.7°N and long 69.3 °E, 70 km northwest of Bhuj (Gujarat), 60 km northeast of Naliya. To move WSW, emerge into NE Arabian Sea off Kachchh and adjoining Saurashtra & Pakistan coasts and intensify into a CS on 30th August," IMD said.
