Severe Cyclone Mora hits Bangladesh, heavy rains in Northeast India
Posted on: 30/May/2017 11:44:06 AM
Severe cyclone Mora has crossed Bangladesh coast near Chittagong as per the Bangladesh Meteorological Department around 7:00 AM. The speed of the winds at the time of landfall were between 90 kmph and 120 kmph.
Heavy rains have already begun over Mizoram, Tripura and other northeastern states. Wind speed in these areas is gusting up to 60 kmph. Due to heavy rains and strong winds, communication lines may be affected due to falling of tree branches. Slight damage to huts and kutcha houses is also expected.
After the landfall, due to decrease in moisture content and interaction with land, we expect the cyclone to degenerate rapidly into a deep depression and subsequently into a depression during the next 12 hours. However, good rains will continue over Northeast India for another 24 hours.
