A tropical storm in the Arabian Sea that\u00a0reached cyclone strength and was named Cyclone Mekunu will hit the Arabian Peninsula this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After thrashing the Yemeni island of Socotra, where almost\u00a017 people are feared dead, the cyclone is now expected to thrash\u00a0near Salalah, Oman on early Saturday.<\/p>\n

A state of emergency has since been declared in Yemen.<\/p>\n

Winds and rain have picked up in Oman<\/h3>\n

Salalah International Airport has been shut down when strong winds and rains picked up on Thursday forcing many holiday goers to leave the country. The cyclone is expected to make a landfall near the Salalah region.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oman has\u00a0warned residents not to go into valleys for fears of flashing flooding.\u00a0It also\u00a0sent rescue helicopters to remote villages to evacuate those who could be impacted by flooding or mudslides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile The Embassy of the UAE in Muscat has issued an advisory to its citizens in Oman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Citizens are urged to take precautions and stay away from all shoreline and valley areas. Remain alert for all changing weather conditions and follow the safety instructions pending the landfall of the cyclone. Register for the Tawajudi service and contact the embassy for all alerts.”<\/em><\/p>\n
