Effects of cyclone Ockhi expected to hit Karachi, other coastal cities A powerful cyclone that has killed over a dozen people across India and Sri Lanka is expected to show effects in Pakistan’s coastal areas, the Met Office said on Saturday.

Cyclone Ockhi is expected to enter the Arabian Sea from the south east and will impact Karachi, Badin and Thatta on December 3 and 4 in the form of cloud cover, the Met Office predicted.

Cyclone Ockhi barrelled into the Lakshwadeep islands in southwestern India on Saturday after drenching the neighbouring states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, claiming around 14 lives with many fishermen still feared trapped at sea.

Authorities including the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), India’s Coast Guard and Navy have rescued about 223 fishermen and evacuated thousands of people from cyclone-hit areas, officials said, as they continued their operations on Saturday.
