Red Alerts in Gujarat as Arabian Sea Low Shows Cyclone Potential, Karachi Forecasts Rains, Mumbai Downgraded

Officials report no immediate threat to Pakistan’s coast, with forecasters tracking the low’s move toward the northeast Arabian Sea.

Overview

  • IMD has placed parts of Saurashtra and Kutch under red and orange alerts, citing heavy rain and flash‑flood risk linked to a well‑marked low over the Gulf of Cambay.
  • PMD forecasts intermittent rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds for Karachi and southeastern Sindh through October 2, advising local preparedness.
  • The Gujarat low is expected to drift west‑northwest and reach the northeast Arabian Sea around October 1, where it could deepen into a depression or tropical cyclone, according to PMD.
  • Mumbai’s orange alert has been withdrawn and replaced with a green alert as skies turn mostly sunny, with only light, isolated showers expected; light to moderate showers remain possible in parts of Maharashtra.
  • Delhi‑NCR recorded rainfall on September 30, and the IMD projects further light showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds into early October.
