Hurricane Javad: Rain hits Odisha in West Bengal; there will be more shops in the next 2 days

The Meteorological Department said that heavy rain hit southern West Bengal and coastal areas of Odisha on Sunday, affecting normal life as Hurricane Javad weakened into a low pressure.

Heavy rain sees Orissa as a remnant of tropical cyclone Jawad near the coast

Officials said heavy rain hit parts of Odisha on Sunday because the remnants of Cyclone Jawad, which had weakened into a deep depression, approached the coast. The Bureau of Meteorology stated in an announcement issued at 11:30 in the morning that the system had moved north-northeast at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour in the past 6 hours, located in the midwest of the Bay of Bengal, 90 kilometers from Gopalpur and Puri. 120 kilometers and 210 kilometers away from Paradeep.

Based on the 0600utc (1130 hours) on December 5th, the observation and prediction trajectory was observed and predicted along with the uncertainty cone and the quadrant wind of the deep depression (the remnant of Cyclone Jawad).

With the further development of Hurricane Javad, the rain hit Kolkata

Puri in Odisha received heavy rainfall under the influence of Hurricane Javad

Although tropical cyclone Javad stopped heavy to moderate rain in the coastal areas of Odisha. Khallikot in Ganjam District recorded the highest rainfall of 158 mm in the past 24 hours, as of 8.30 am on Sunday

Cyclone Jawad: With 18 NDRF teams deployed in West Bengal, Digha waters have become rugged

Before Cyclone Javad on the coast of Orissa near Puri was expected to make landfall at around noon on Sunday, 18 NDRF teams had been deployed in West Bengal because the sea surface of Tiga was roughened by the cyclone circulation in the Bay of Bengal. The Indian Meteorological Department said that by Sunday morning, Cyclone Javad may have further weakened from a deep depression to a depression.

The deep depression remnants of Cyclone Jawad are located about 230 kilometers east-northeast of Vizag, 130 kilometers south-southwest of Gopalpur, 180 kilometers south-southwest of Puri, and 270 kilometers south-southwest of Paradip. It may weaken into depression and reach the Puri coast around noon: IMD

In the next three hours, moderate rain/thunder showers, one or two heavy/heavy rains may affect parts of Ganjam, Puri, Khorda, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Cuttack: Meteorological Center, Bhubaneswar

As Cyclone Jawad may arrive around noon today, Puri in Odisha witnessed mild rainfall

The deep depression remnants of Cyclone Jawad will further weaken into depression, reaching the coast of Odisha near Puri around noon today.

Meteorological experts say that three factors caused Jawad to lose strength. First, it lacks the uniform "wind shear" required to keep the cyclone intact and move it toward the coast. Second, the North Bay of Bengal — the system is now circling — cooled in December, cutting off the water supply to the cyclone system and making them weaker. Finally, the cool wind blows from the land into the sea, disintegrating the system.

As the heavy rain warning still exists, watch the night on the coast

As Hurricane Javad weakened into a deep depression, the coastal areas of Bangladesh breathed a sigh of relief. But the government refused to relax the guards. “Hurricane Javad is no longer as strong as predicted and is weakening. But we remain vigilant in coastal areas because the possibility of heavy rain still exists,” a state official said on Saturday night. Diha wore a typical hurricane the day before, the sky was overcast, the beach was empty, the drizzle was constant, and there were occasional gusts of wind. The government is on alert, ready to prevent any unfortunate incident from happening. The East Midnapore District government is concerned that cyclones and high tides may inundate large areas.

Hurricane Javad disappears and may hit Bangladesh with low pressure

Cyclone Javad lost its strength as it approached the coast of Odisha on Saturday and weakened into a deep depression. It will rebend near Puri on Sunday afternoon and move towards the coast of Bangladesh, further losing its strength. It may reach Bangladesh in the form of low pressure or cyclonic circulation on Sunday, which will greatly suppress its impact, although heavy rains are expected in some areas of the four coastal areas of the state. Calcutta may have light to moderate showers on Sunday. Meteorological experts say that three factors caused Jawad to lose strength. First, it lacks the uniform "wind shear" required to keep the cyclone intact and move it toward the coast. Second, the North Bay of Bengal — the system is now circling — cooled in December, cutting off the water supply to the cyclone system and making them weaker. Finally, the cool wind blows from the land into the sea, disintegrating the system.

Farmers in coastal areas worry about damage to rice

Despite the weakening of Hurricane Javad on Saturday, farmers in coastal and adjacent areas still worry about damage to rice. As the Indian Meteorological Department predicts heavy to very heavy rains on Sunday, farmers are worried about rice that has not yet been harvested or has been harvested but has not been covered. The shortage of manpower or harvesters has also exacerbated their plight. “We went to pick soon after the government issued the hurricane warning. But it is difficult to take the crops home or cover the rice fields properly to prevent rain,” said Subala Sahu, a farmer in Pipili, Puri district.

As in the past, although Javad was a hurricane in December, it did not make landfall in Odisha. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, Director General of IMD, stated that very high vertical wind shear (changes in wind speed between the lower and upper troposphere) of 45-55 kilometers per hour weakened the storm. The small difference in vertical wind shear is beneficial to the cyclone to obtain or maintain its strength. He explained.

It is no longer a whirlwind. The deep depression may weaken further and become low on Sunday morning and low on Sunday night, moving along the coast of Orissa towards West Bengal.

500 Vizag fishermen are allowed to anchor boats in Orissa

The Ganjam District Government of Odisha provided shelter for more than 500 fishermen from Visakhapatnam and nearby areas, and provided them with space to berth 68 trawlers. As the storm gradually approached the coast, the sea became rough and the fishermen were going out to sea.

Stella S, Director of IMD-Amaravati, said that from midnight Saturday to Sunday morning, heavy rain and strong winds (60 to 70 kilometers per hour) in Srikakulam and Vizianagaram may exceed one or two places.

Hurricane Javad weakened into a deep depression, saving AP from disaster

As Cyclone Jawad weakened into a deep depression and moved towards the coast of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh breathed a sigh of relief. It was located about 180 kilometers east-southeast of Visakhapatnam at 5:30 pm on Saturday, and it is likely to hit the coast of Odisha near Puri around noon on Sunday. The news relieved the northern coastal areas of Sri Kakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam, which faced the anger of Hurricane Gulab in September.
