    IMD predicts cyclone over Bay of Bengal around May 9

    [ad_1]

    Bhubaneswar: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday said that there is a possibility of the formation of a cyclone over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) around May 9.

    A cyclonic circulation will form over southeast Bay of Bengal around May 6, which will convert into a low pressure area over the same region on May 7. The system is likely to concentrate into a depression on the next day, the IMD said.

    “Thereafter, there is a good possibility of its intensification while moving nearly northwards towards central Bay of Bengal,” it said.

    However, the IMD has not yet predicted its intensity, path and impact on Odisha coast.

    Director General (DG) of IMD, Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said that there is consensus over the formation of a low pressure and its intensification into a cyclone by May 9.

    “We have not specified its path and intensity and the area over the land where it is likely to hit. Once the low pressure is formed, we will provide detailed predictions regarding landfall and its intensity,” said Mohapatra, adding, “As of now, there is no such forecast for landfall over Indian coast.”

    Initially, there will be squally weather and hence the fishermen should not venture into the southeast Bay of Bengal from May 7 onwards, he advised.

    The DG made it clear that no alert has been issued for the Odisha coast and there is no forecast about the likely impact of the system on Odisha.

    Mohapatra urged people not to panic about a possible cyclone but remain prepared to face any eventuality.

    The last summer cyclonic storm ‘Fani’ had made landfall over the Odisha coast near Puri on May 3, 2019. It had caused wide-spread devastation in coastal Odisha including capital Bhubaneswar.

  • Eastern India may experience heat wave in May, says IMD

    Eastern India may experience heat wave in May, says IMD

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Parts of eastern India, including Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha, are likely to face above-normal temperatures in May with a likelihood of heat wave conditions on some days, the weather office has said.

    However, parts of northwest and west-central India may experience warmer nights and below-normal temperatures during the day, the India Meteorological Department said in the monthly outlook for temperature and rainfall for May.

    It said normal to above-normal rainfall is expected in the northwest and west central parts of the country in May, including in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and parts of western Uttar Pradesh. Large swathes of the northeastern region, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and south Karnataka, are expected to witness below-normal rains.

    MS Education Academy

    According to the weather office, the average rainfall in May is likely to be 91-109 per cent of the Long Period Average of 61.4 mm.

    “Above-normal heat wave days are expected over most parts of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, east Uttar Pradesh, coastal Andhra Pradesh and some parts of North Chhattisgarh, east Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and coastal Gujarat during May,” IMD Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said here.

    He said the neutral El Nino prevalent over the equatorial Pacific region is expected to continue through May with a majority of weather models indicating the region beginning to warm up during the monsoon season.

    El Nino, or warming of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, is said to have an impact on monsoon rains in India. However, other factors such as the sea surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean (known as the Indian Ocean Dipole) are also known to influence the weather.

    Mohapatra said the neutral IOD conditions prevailing over the Indian Ocean are likely to turn positive during the upcoming season. He said positive Indian Ocean Dipole conditions are known to favour the Indian monsoon and help temper the impact of El Nino.

    Earlier this month, the IMD forecast a normal monsoon season with 96 per cent rainfall of the Long Period Average of 87 cm rainfall. The weather office is expected to update its forecast towards the end of May.

After a day’s break, the city is expected to experience heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds and hailstorms towards the evening or night.

    According to the IMD Hyderabad, all six zones in Hyderabad, namely Charminar, Khairatabad, Kukatpally, LB Nagar, Secunderabad, and Serilingampally, are likely to experience a generally cloudy sky with light to moderate rainfall or thundershowers.

    Neighbouring districts of Hyderabad to witness heavy rainfall, hailstorm

    Power cut, heavy traffic during rainfall

    Though rainfall in Hyderabad brings respite from the summer heat, it also possesses a lot of challenges, especially when it comes to power cuts and heavy traffic.

    As electrical infrastructure in the city is not always able to handle the heavy rainfall, outages take place that can last for hours.

    Another problem that arises during rainfall in Hyderabad is heavy traffic. The city’s roads are often clogged with vehicles, and the situation worsens when it rains. The traffic snarls can cause long delays, making it difficult for people to reach their destinations on time.

    In view of the forecast made by both IMD Hyderabad and TSDPS, residents are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions to avoid any unforeseen situations. It is recommended to avoid traveling during the heavy downpour and stay indoors if possible.

  • IMD Hyderabad forecasts temperature in Telangana to soar up to 45 degrees Celsius

    IMD Hyderabad forecasts temperature in Telangana to soar up to 45 degrees Celsius

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for most of the districts in Telangana as it forecasts that the maximum temperature will rise to up to 45 degrees Celsius in the current week. The IMD has also issued a yellow alert for Hyderabad, where the temperature is expected to rise up to 40 degrees Celsius.

    Today so far, the highest maximum temperature of 42.2 degrees Celsius was recorded in Adilabad. Other districts that recorded more than 40 degrees Celsius are Jagtial (41.5), Mancherial (41), Kumuram Bheem (40.5), Nalgonda (40.5), Adilabad (40.3), Yadadri Bhuvanagiri (40.3), Mulugu (40.3), and Nagarkurnool (40.1). In Hyderabad, the highest maximum temperature of 37.6 degrees Celsius was recorded in Khairatabad.

    On Tuesday, the IMD predicted normal rainfall during the southwest monsoon season despite the evolving El Nino conditions. The El Nino is the warming of the waters in the Pacific Ocean near South America, which is generally associated with the weakening of monsoon winds and dry weather in India.

    MS Education Academy

    The El Nino conditions this year follow three consecutive La Nina years, which typically bring good rainfall during the monsoon season.

    Normal rainfall is critical for India’s agricultural landscape, with 52 percent of the net cultivated area relying on it. It is also crucial for the replenishing of reservoirs critical for drinking water, apart from power generation across the country.

    The IMD’s forecast serves as a relief to the agricultural sector as it relies heavily on the monsoon season for cultivation.
