Pakistan's coast safe from Oman-bound cyclone: Met office

KARACHI: Karachi Met office on Thursday stated that so far Pakistan’s coastal belt is out of danger from a cyclone which is expected to strike the coastal areas of Oman on June 15. An official at the Met office told Dawn that Nanauk was at a significant distance from Karachi and there were no chances of it striking Pakistan's coastal areas. He added that the Met office was continuously monitoring the situation in case the cyclone is found to be changing its course or developing differently. Responding to a question about rains within Pakistan's coastal areas as a result of the cyclone, he said the storm would have its impact in that regard and rainfall was quite likely. DawnNews earlier reported that light rains were expected on the coastal belts of Sindh and Balochistan once Nanauk hit the Omani coast.
