25 Oct 2019 / India
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecast the formation of a cyclone in the Arabian Sea by the afternoon of 25 October 2019. The system will intensify into Cyclone 'KYARR', causing heavy rainfall in the coastal districts of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa with strong gusts of wind.
The IMD has issued a 'Red' warning for districts along the west coast in Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka.
The cyclone could flood the coastal regions and adjacent areas in the three states. Heavy rainfall has already wreaked havoc in many parts in these states.
The sea condition is very likely to be rough to very rough over the east-central Arabian Sea and along and off south Maharashtra, Goa and north Karnataka coasts during the next 24 hours.
The intensity of rainfall is likely to increase with the possibility of extremely heavy rains over the region. Warnings of strong winds of up to 80 kmph along and off the coast.
Current data shows that the storm is not likely to make landfall on the Indian Subcontinent.
The IMD states that the cyclone is very likely to move east-northeastwards till October 25 evening. Then it is very likely to re-curve and move nearly westwards towards south Oman and adjoining Yemen coast with gradual intensification in the subsequent 72 hours.
The rainfall intensity is likely to drop after Saturday as the storm steers away towards the Arabian coast.
It is anticipated that the storm will reach wind speeds of up to 200 km per hour that would put in it the ‘extremely severe’ category.

Mormugao: Heavy rains lashed Goa state yesterday (24 October, Thursday), leaving low-lying areas inundated. Cargo operations on all vessels at berth have been suspended since yesterday. Mormugao Port has kept Signal DC-III hoisted since yesterday.
