Rains may dampen the spirit of Mumbaikars, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said the deep depression over the Cyclone Kyarr in the Arabian Sea is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm in the next 12 to 24 hours.
Thus, winds gusting from 170 kmph to 200 kmph are likely to prevail towards the west central Arabian Sea on October 27. Meanwhile, the city is likely to receive heavy rainfall over the weekend. Fishermen, too, have been advised to not to venture into the sea. As per an PTI report, the warning was issued this afternoon by the Mumbai centre of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). A deep depression in the Arabian Sea intensified into cyclonic storm Kyarr during early hours of Friday.
