KARACHI: The Met Office forecast said a low-pressure area, called Depression, in the Arabian Sea has been at a distance of 270 kilometres off the Karachi coast and slowly moved northwestward. Maximum sustained surface wind is 50-55 kilometres per hour around the system centre. The system is likely to keep moving northwestward for some time and then recurve to westwards (towards the Oman coast), the weather agency said in a statement. The Met Office has said the sea conditions would remain very rough during the next two to three days advising fishermen of Sindh and Balochistan not to venture into open sea till Monday night. The windstorm may cause damage to loose and vulnerable structures, the weather office warned.
