Cyclone Kyarr

Around that time, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) anticipated that the low would eventually develop into a tropical cyclone.

[3] Due to the large circulation of the cyclone, the IMD recommended all fishermen avoid sailing in the Arabian Sea for five days.

[8] On October 24, Kyarr washed ashore the chemical tanker Nu-Shi Nalini near Dona Paula in Goa state, which was carrying naphtha, an explosive.

[10] In advance of the tropical cyclone, the IMD issued rain and surf alerts for the Indian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Goa.

[11] As Kyarr approached western India, the cyclone dropped heavy rainfall onshore, peaking at 400 mm (16 in) in Malvan, Maharashtra.

[3] In Goa, the rains caused flash flooding, while strong winds felled trees and power lines.

[11] In Mumbai, the storm's heavy rains contributed to a dengue outbreak, with a 70% increase in cases of the mosquito-borne disease in December 2019 compared to the same month in 2018.

[2] In southern Pakistan, officials closed beaches and opened four shelters due to high tides from the cyclone.

Floods affected parts of Karachi, closing a section of Defence Raya Golf and Country Club, killing 200, and damaging 2000 houses.

[16] In neighboring United Arab Emirates, high tides flooded streets, houses, and schools in eastern coastal areas of Sharjah and Fujairah.
