The impact of cyclone ‘Biparjoy’ will be visible in Rajasthan from June 15, said the Regional Meteorological Centre on Tuesday.
According to the weather department, the cyclone may affect 12 districts of the deserts. Consequently, warnings have been issued to ensure safety during Biparjoy’s voyage towards Rajasthan.
Considering the fast-approaching cyclone’s intensity, the Railways have partially and fully cancelled the operation of more than a dozen trains going from Rajasthan to Porbandar, Bhuj, Okha, and Gandhidham in Gujarat.
As per IMD, the cyclone is expected to touchdown between Gujarat’s Saurashtra and Kutch and adjoining Pakistan coasts by Thursday, June 15. After landfall, this system is predicted to de-intensify gradually into a deep depression over parts of Gujarat and a low-pressure area over southwest parts of Rajasthan.
Under its influence, extremely heavy to very heavy falls may lash Southwest Rajasthan on June 16-17 — however, there’s very little possibility of cyclone-related damage over the state.
Furthermore, experts predict a reduction in the cyclone’s wind speed as it makes its way to Rajasthan. However, persistent high moisture levels may induce heavy rains (60 mm to 100 mm) in many places for two days.
Due to this system’s effect, thunderstorms and rain will start only by the afternoon of June 15, said Radheshyam Sharma, director of the Meteorological Center, Jaipur.
