‘’IMD announces a warning that Cyclone Biparjoy will become a very severe storm’’.
According to a recent forecast from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Cyclone Biparjoy is predicted to move towards the north and strengthen into a very severe cyclonic storm during the following 24 hours. The IMD said that it will travel north-north-westward during the course of the following three days.
In the same location, strong winds may gust up to 115 kmph and reach speeds of 95-105 kmph. The areas of north Kerala, Karnataka, and Goa would be most affected by these weather conditions.
On June 8, east central Arabian Sea and surrounding parts of west central and south Arabian Sea are anticipated to see gale winds with speeds of 130-140 kmph with gusts up to 155 kmph. From nighttime across the same area, gale winds are also expected to pick up pace to 135-145 kmph with gusts up to 160 kmph areas bordering the beaches of Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka
Additionally, the IMD has issued a wind advisory for many regions of India.
The cyclone will probably make landfall in Pakistan in the meanwhile. As of 8:30 am on June 6, according to the Met Department’s advisory, the depression was located around 1,490 kilometres south of Karachi.
Every time a cyclone develops, it usually has an impact on the start of the monsoon. This might delay things by one to two days, according to a PTI official quote.
Sunil Kamble, the director of the Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) Mumbai, stated that when the cyclone intensifies, it is expected to turn north, and at that point, we will be able to see the effects it may have on our shore.
