TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 02A (NANAUK), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 439 NM
EAST-SOUTHEAST OF MASIRAH ISLAND, HAS TRACKED WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT
02 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS.
The latest bulletin issued by the JTWC (2100 hrs GMT, June 11, 2014) says nothing much has changed. The cyclone is expected to be as strong as forecasted earlier. It will hit the Oman coast south of Khaluf on June 15, 2014, Sunday early morning. Winds then will be between 75 kph and 120 kph. Heavy rains and very high waves will lash the coast. Muscat is away from Ground Zero so it will not bear the brunt of the storm. But expect rains, and heavy winds from Saturday.
