Cyclone Shakhti, the first cyclonic storm in the Arabian Sea during the post-monsoon season, is forecasted to impact the Gujarat coast, especially the areas around Dwarka. The cyclone, named by Sri Lanka, is anticipated to intensify as it approaches land. Gujarat’s long Arabian Sea coastline makes it particularly vulnerable to such weather systems, which often bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and potential disruptions to coastal communities and infrastructure. The state has been placed on high alert, and preparations are underway to mitigate possible damage and ensure the safety of residents.
