Odisha Cyclone Forecast

The Met office has forecast intense rainfall in Odisha after the formation of a cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal off the coast in the southern part of the state.

The Odisha government has asked the Collectors of 18 coastal and adjoining districts to be prepared for any eventuality in view of the forecast of a cyclonic storm.

The Odisha government on Friday asked the collectors of 18 coastal and adjoining districts to be prepared for any eventuality in view of the forecast of a cyclonic storm.

The Odisha government on Wednesday geared up for such an eventuality in the coming days, though the IMD forecast no possibility of any low-pressure formation in the Bay of Bengal in a fortnight.

Cyclone Asani: With probability of the severe cyclonic storm 'Asani' recurving, the India Meteorological Department today predicted rainfall and strong winds for three states; Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal.

The severe cyclonic storm Asaniis likely to recurve over the sea away from the coast, and would not cross Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, or West Bengal, India Meteorological Department (IMD) Senior Scientist RK Jenamani said on Monday.

The weather office has forecast heavy rain in northern Gujarat and north and north-west Maharashtra tomorrow. Mumbai, too, is likely to see heavy rain. A cyclonic storm may also hit Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts on Saturday morning.

With the IMD forecasting the formation of a low pressure area over south Andaman Sea in the next 48 hours and the possibility of its eventual build-up into a cyclone, the Odisha government on Sunday put all district collectors on alert

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday issued a bulletin forecasting the intensification of a presently developing low-pressure system into a cyclone in north Andhra Pradesh and adjoining south Odisha by September 26 evening.

Jharkhand, which was put on high alert, continued evacuating low-lying areas today amid the forecast that cyclone Yaas would be hitting the state by midnight after pounding neighbouring Odisha and West Bengal, officials said.

Cyclone Yaas crossed the north Odisha coast about 20 km south of Balasore between 10.30 and 11.30 am, with 130-140 km per hour winds and 150 km per hour gusts. At 5.30 pm it was over northeast Odisha, about 55 km west-northwest of Balasore.

Due to the effect of Cyclone Yaas which is likely to hit the Odisha coast by May 26, capital city Bhubaneswar witnessed heavy rainfall on Friday. The IMD has forecast "rain or thundershowers with strong gusty winds" for Bhubaneswar today.

Several parts of Odisha received heavy rain today even as the state government laid down guidelines for coastal districts in view of the forecast on the formation of cyclonic storm Yaas.
