Hurricane update - 25 June

Tropical cyclone 03B has re-formed, and is at present 85 miles southwest of Karachi, Pakistan. The picture on the satellite imagery is messy, but this little beastie could still have a sting in its tail. By the time it comes ashore, in 24 hours' time, winds could reach 60 mph. Rain, which will affect a wide swathe of territory (from Yemen northwards), will cause large problems in terms of flooding. This applies to the desert areas of Oman and Yemen, where the wadis (dry rivers) will quickly fill and flood.

The Atlantic and East Pacific remain tranquil at this time.

  1. Thanks for the update. You're always so in tune with everything that's going on in the world, it's great to come here and be informed.

    I've missed being informed, but now that school's over I have some time to spare and am trying my best to get back in with you guys if I'm still welcome. Take care.
