It is very likely to move nearly northwards till Wednesday morning, then move north-northeastwards and cross Saurashtra-Kutch and adjoining Pakistan coasts between Mandvi in Gujarat and Karachi in Pakistan around noon of June 15 as a very severe cyclonic storm, the Met department said, warning that the winds could go up to 150kmph. “The extremely severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy over east central Arabian Sea moved slowly northward with a speed of two kmph during the past six hours and lay centred at 8.30pm over the same region... about 540km west of Mumbai, 390km south-southwest of Porbandar, 430km south-southwest of Devbhumi Dwarka, 520km south-southwest of Naliya and 690km south of Karachi (Pakistan),” IMD said in a bulletin.
Light to moderate rainfall at most places with heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely over Kutch, Devbhumi Dwarka, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Junagarh and Morbi districts of Saurashtra and Kutch on Wednesday, IMD said. The intensity of rainfall would increase with heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places and extremely heavy rain at isolated places over Kutch, Devbhumi Dwarka and Jamnagar and heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places over Porbandar, Rajkot, Morbi and Junagarh districts of Gujarat on June 15, IMD said.
Isolated heavy rainfall is likely over remaining districts of Saurashtra and north Gujarat region on Thursday, it said.
An extremely severe cyclonic storm classification denotes the highest of IMD’s four-grade nomenclature: a cyclonic storm one with three-minute average maximum sustained wind speeds in the 63-88 kmph range.
A severe cyclonic storm has winds between 89 and 117 kmph, a very severe cyclonic storm between 118 and 165 kmph, and an extremely severe cyclonic storm between 166 and 220 kmph. Biparjoy is yet another reminder of what the human-triggered climate crisis could hold for India and the world.
