Skymet says that the weather system which is presently seen as a low-pressure area would be moving parallel to the West Coast.
The system is likely to maintain a sufficient distance from the coast but would give good rains and strong winds right from Kerala to Coastal Karnataka to Konkan & Goa.
By the time, this likely cyclonic storm reaches North Arabian Sea, it would have been intensified into a cyclonic storm and would also re-curve along the coast. As per the weather models, the probable cyclone is most likely to hit Pakistan coast near Karachi.
While moving into this direction, there are bright chances that it might brush parts of Gujarat coast like Saurashtra and Kutch. In wake of this, weathermen are predicting heavy to very heavy rains around June 12 or 13.
