The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday issued an update on cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ and said that it is rapidly turning into a severe cyclonic storm, it is also likely to intensify further in the next 48 hours. The cyclone will move towards north-northwest and it is likely to engulf the western front with heavy showers and strong winds in the next three days. However, the weather agency is yet to predict any major impact on countries adjoining the Arabian Sea, including India, Oman, Iran, and Pakistan.
In its bulletin on Wednesday, IMD said that Cyclone Biparjoy is lying over east-central and adjoining southeast Arabian Sea - about 870 km of west-southwest of Goa, and 930 km of south-west of Mumbai.
According to forecasting agencies, the storm has been undergoing "rapid intensification", escalating from just a cyclonic circulation to a severe cyclonic storm in just 48 hours, reported Hindustan Times.
As per the reports, the atmospheric conditions and cloud mass indicate that the system is likely to sustain the strength of a very severe cyclone till June 12.
In an update, the IMD revealed that the Cyclone intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and remained centred around 1,060 km southwest of Gujarat's coastal district of Porbandar. The government said that it is “fully prepared to deal with possible natural calamities.”
As per Hindustan Times, the IMD has issued a warning for fishermen on Karnataka's coast not to venture into the Arabian Sea citing dangerous weather conditions and rough seas until further notice.
According to the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), there are likely high waves in the range of 2.3-3.2 meters along the coast off from Mangaluru to Karwar.
IMD has predicted the onset of monsoon over Kerala during the next 48 hours, although it is expected to be weak on account of Cyclone Biparjoy.
“Latest meteorological features associated with monsoon onset over Kerala show: there is (a) persistence of westerly winds over the south Arabian Sea (b) increase in the depth of westerly winds up to middle tropospheric levels and (c) increase in cloudiness over the areas covering south-east Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep and Kerala coasts. Under such a scenario; conditions are becoming favourable for monsoon onset over Kerala during next 48 hours,” IMD said in its bulletin on Wednesday.
