Author: Web Desk

In response to the Very Severe Cyclonic System (VSCS) Biparjoy, which is expected to make landfall between Karachi and Gujarat, India, on Thursday, the Sindh government announced that all exams would be canceled beginning today (Wednesday).

To prevent any loss of life and inconvenience to the general public, Karachi’s Assistant Commissioner Abid Qamar Shaikh announced in a notice that “all examinations, educational seminars, summer camps, and education-related activities may be canceled/rescheduled from June 14, 2023, until the end of the storm.”

The cyclone is expected to hit the Karachi Division’s coastal regions, bringing severe storms or rain to the city, according to the warning.

According to the most recent forecast from Pakistan Meteorologist Department (PMD), the cyclone over the northeast Arabian Sea has moved further north-northwestward in the previous six hours.

Biparjoy is currently located near Latitude 21.2°N and Longitude 66.6°E, approximately 410 kilometres south of Karachi and 400 kilometres south of Thatta.

The Met Office said that the sea conditions are fantastic around the system core, with a maximum wave height of 30 feet, and the highest sustained surface winds are 150-160 kmph with gusts to 180 kmph.
