“Through numerical models and reports issued by the regional hurricane monitoring centre, the tropical desperation is expected to deepen more and become a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours, and its path will be towards the north in the Arabian Sea, where the wind speed around the centre ranges from 90-120 kmph and the speed of the tropical storm will move 12 kmph,” the statement added.

"There is no impact on the country during the next five days," the statement confirmed.
