Ahmedabad, June 03: Tropical cyclone ‘Phet’ in the Arabian Sea is about 1100 km from Nalia in Kutch and is weakening as coastal areas of Gujarat received light to medium rainfall under its influence, Indian Meteorological Department officials said today.
The cyclone has moved slightly towards the coast of Oman and “due to proximity to the land surface (near Oman), the system is showing sign of weakening,” they said.
“Further, due to changing environmental flow pattern, the system (Phet) would move slowly in a northwesterly/ northerly direction for next 24 hours and cross Oman coast by tomorrow (June 4) morning,” they said, adding, “It would then weaken gradually, recurve northeastwards and emerge into north Arabian Sea by June 5 and move towards Pakistan coast.
