TL;DR Summary

Cyclone Biparjoy weakened as it moved towards Pakistan after causing damage and killing two people in India. More than 180,000 people were evacuated in both countries, with some in Pakistan returning home as the storm weakened. The storm knocked out power and uprooted trees and electricity poles in India, while heavy winds threw shipping containers into the sea at Mundra port. Pakistanis were on alert for flash floods, with charities, aid agencies and local authorities donating food to those affected. The cyclone set a record for the longest lifespan over the Arabian Sea, and experts warn that preparations for natural disasters are becoming more urgent due to the increasing frequency, duration and intensity of cyclones in the region.
