State Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Pradeep Jena said arrangements have been made to evacuate altogether 7.5 lakh people in 18 districts if any such emergency situation arises out of the impending cyclonic storm. 

IMD DG Mrutyunjay Mohapatra on Saturday said, “The cyclone will not make landfall as the system is more likely to move parallel to Odisha- Andhra coast.”

Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said the sea condition near Odisha coast will start becoming rough from May 9, and it will become rougher on May 10. The wind speed will increase upto 80-90 kmph over the sea area.

The low pressure has concentrated into a well-marked low pressure and it is likely to move northwestward and intensify into a depression over southeast Bay of Bengal during next six hours and further into a cyclonic storm by May 8.

As per IMD’s Regional Centre in Bhubaneswar, the low pressure is likely to intensify into a depression today. There will be a gradual rise in the wind speed from today onwards and it is likely that the system will further intensify into a cyclonic storm by May 8 (tomorrow), the Regional MeT said.

As the system is situated far away from Odisha, its impact will not be seen now. However, the current weather conditions in the form of rainfall activities in Odisha are under the influence of Nor’wester, said IMD DG Mrutyunjay Mohapatra.

IMD Director General, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, said the system will develop into a low pressure area around May 6. There is possibility that it will move in north-west direction for the next two days and may intensify into depression.

Senior scientist of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) RK Jenamani has shared latest updates on probable cyclone ‘Asani’ and its impact on east coastal belt and Andaman Nicobar islands.

The Deep Depression or the remnant of cyclonic storm ‘Jawad’ weakened into a depression over northwest Bay of Bengal close to southeast of Puri at 2.30PM on Sunday (December 5).

The city of Bhubaneswar witnessed cloudy sky with a few intense spells of rain and strong gusty surface winds over some areas. Owing to the Jawad-induced rains, people in several low-lying areas were left to grapple with water-logging situation. Even though the system has already weakened into a depression, rainfall activity is likely to continue in the smart city, predicts MeT.

The Deep Depression lay centered at over northwest and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal about 90km south- southeast of Gopalpur and 120km south-southwest of Puri.

The Deep Depression remnant of cyclonic storm `Jawad' over west-central Bay of Bengal is likely to move north-northeast wards, weaken further into a Depression and reach Odisha coast near Puri around Sunday noon.

Bhubaneswar IMD Director HR Biswas has shared the latest updates on cyclonic Storm ‘Jawad’. As per the forecast, the cyclonic storm is moving in north-northeast direction and will continue to move in that direction.

As per IMD, several parts of Odisha will experience moderate to heavy rainfall from December 3 and the intensity of rain will increase from tomorrow (December 4).

The Cyclonic storm will re-curve and move towards West Bengal, said India Meteorological Department (IMD) DG, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra on Friday.
