      Tropical Cyclone MEKUNU will pass just east of Socotra moving Northwards
      to the Yemen-Oman border.
      Winds now at 55 kts are expected to intensify tomorrow (Thu) to a hurricane-equivalent strength and on Friday will reach a peak of 85 kts (gusts 110 kts).

      On Friday morning, Yemen and Oman must expect heavy rain and very strong winds.
      MEKUNU will weaken after landfall.
