On Wednesday, the Gujarat government affirmed its complete readiness to address potential natural calamities. As a precautionary measure, fishermen in Gujarat have been cautioned against venturing into the Arabian Sea until June 14.
According to an official from the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the cyclone is expected to bring light rainfall to the regions of Saurashtra and south Gujarat from June 9 to 11. This information was shared with the news agency PTI.

The approaching Cyclone Biparjoy is expected to have an impact on multiple southwestern states.
The forthcoming Cyclone Biparjoy is expected to have a significant impact on various southwestern states. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has consequently issued an extended wind warning for these regions over the next five days.
The winds are likely to escalate and reach speeds of 95-105 kmph, with gusts reaching up to 115 kmph in the same vicinity.
The areas that will potentially experience the most significant impact include the adjoining regions of the west-central and south Arabian Sea, as well as the coastal areas of north Kerala, Karnataka, and Goa.
According to meteorologists, the onset of the monsoon in Kerala is expected to be "mild" due to the influence of the cyclone, affecting its intensity.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) announced on Wednesday morning that conditions are favourable for the monsoon to arrive in Kerala within the next two days.
However, experts point out that the cyclone's presence has dampened the progress of the monsoon, resulting in a subdued onset over Kerala.
The anticipated impact of the cyclone has led to a relatively weaker commencement of the monsoon beyond the southern peninsula.
The meteorological observations highlight the effect of the cyclonic activity on the monsoon's strength and indicate a more gradual and subdued onset in Kerala.
