People in Oman asked not to go out to sea as tropical cyclone Kyarr intensifies

Muscat: People in Oman who are planning to go out to sea have been asked not to do so over the next four days unless absolutely necessary by the country’s Department of Meteorology, as Tropical Cyclone Kyarr continues to build and move towards the Middle East.

Kyarr is currently off the Indian coast and is moving across the Arabian Sea, but is not expected to hit Oman.

“Sea conditions along the coasts of South Al Sharqiyah, Al Wusta and Dhofar will be moderate to rough with maximum wave height ranging between two and three metres. There are chances of sea water inundation over low level coastal areas starting from today afternoon.”
