Posted on: 19/Nov/2018 5:13:33 PM
It has been quite a long journey for Cyclone Gaja. The system which is now seen as a deep depression continues to maintain its strength for the last 24 hours. It is presently centered around latitude 11.2°N and longitude 67°E, about 600 km west-northwest of Agathi, Lakshadweep Islands.
According to Skymet Weather, the system would continue to move in westward direction, away from the Indian coast. Not only this, the deep depression showing signs of weakening by Monday evening. Looking at this, we expect system to reach Yemen or Oman coast as a weakened system only,
The only good that this system is doing to Indian coast is maintaining the flow of humid easterly and northeasterly winds over Kerala. This has resulted in on and off light rains over Kerala.
