Cyclone-Jawad IMDs-forecast India-Meteorological-Department

On Wednesday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has alerted, coastal states like Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, for the formation of Cyclone Jawad which may hit the states on December 4 morning. 


“Though it is clear that the cyclonic storm will approach the Odisha coast, it is too immature to say where it will make landfall and other details. However, under its impact, several coastal districts of Odisha will experience light to moderate rainfall from December 3. South Odisha districts may also experience heavy rainfall on December 3,” IMD director-general Mrutunjay Mohapatra said.


“Only after the depression is formed will we be in a position to predict the path and location of the cyclone crossing the coast and its intensity,” Mohapatra added.
