06 Nov 2019 / Odisha, India
The state of Odisha is bracing for heavy rainfall as Cyclone Bulbul is set to intensify and trigger widespread rainfall. Yesterday (Tuesday 5 November), the Odisha government put 15 districts on alert for possible flooding and all ports in the state have hoisted warning signal DC-I.
The depression has moved westwards and is over east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal and North Andaman Sea, about 890 km south-southeast of Paradip in Odisha and 980 km south-southeast of Sagar Islands in West Bengal. It is forecast to intensify further and by Friday (8 November) is expected to become into a very severe cyclonic storm.
Squally winds with speeds reaching 40-50 kmph and gusting up to 60 kmph are likely over the northwest Bay of Bengal off the Odisha-West Bengal coasts from Friday evening, gradually increasing thereafter. Seas will be rough over west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal, and along and off Odisha-West Bengal coasts from Friday evening.
