Cyclone Asna, First Since 1964 to Form in Arabian Sea, to Miss Gujarat
The deep depression off the Gujarat coast intensified into Cyclone Asna, only the second of its kind to form over the Arabian Sea since 1964, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
Cyclone Asna, named by Pakistan, moved away from the Indian coast and will not hit Gujarat, as per satellite observations. The weather system has already caused extreme weather in the state, even in its pre-cyclonic stage.
