However, it is highly unlikely that the cyclone will impact the Indian coastline. This is because the current deep depression over the Saurashtra-Kutch region is predicted to move away into the northern Arabian Sea by August 30. "DD over Saurashtra & Kachchh moved slowly W with lat 23.7°N and long 69.3 °E, 70 km northwest of Bhuj (Gujarat), 60 km northeast of Naliya.
