The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning to fishermen as a depression in the Arabian Sea moves towards the coast of Oman. The depression, which has been intensifying over the past few days, poses significant risks to those at sea, particularly small fishing vessels. The PMD has advised fishermen in coastal areas of Pakistan, especially along Sindh and Balochistan, to avoid venturing into deep waters until the weather stabilizes.
According to the PMD, the depression could bring rough seas, high waves, and strong winds, making navigation hazardous. While the system is not expected to directly impact Pakistan’s coastline, its influence will still be felt in the form of turbulent sea conditions and possible heavy rain in coastal regions. Fishermen have been urged to take the warning seriously and stay onshore to avoid life-threatening situations.
The PMD is closely monitoring the situation and has assured the public that updates will be provided regularly as the depression progresses. Coastal communities, particularly those dependent on fishing, are being encouraged to stay informed and follow official guidelines to ensure their safety.
As the system moves towards Oman, authorities there have also issued warnings, preparing for potential heavy rainfall and localized flooding. Regional cooperation between Pakistan and Oman is underway to ensure timely responses and minimize the risks associated with this weather system.
This warning highlights the importance of timely weather alerts and preparedness measures, especially for vulnerable communities like fishermen who rely on the sea for their livelihood. The PMD’s early advisory aims to prevent any loss of life and property as the Arabian Sea depression continues its path towards Oman.
