The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) announced on Monday that the depression over the central Arabian Sea has shifted west-northwestward over the past 10 hours.
The system now lies over the west-central Arabian Sea, positioned at approximately Latitude 16.2N and Longitude 61.0E.
According to the PMD, the depression is currently located around 1,150 kilometers southwest of Karachi, 1,080 kilometers southwest of Ormara, and 1,010 kilometers south of Gwadar. In Oman, the system is about 520 kilometers southeast of Masirah and 740 kilometers east of Salalah.

Squally winds reaching speeds of 30-40km/hour, with gusts up to 50km/hour, are anticipated around the center of the system, while sea conditions are forecasted to remain rough until tomorrow.
