After cyclone Nivar final week, an additional cyclonic storm, Burevi, is anticipated to hit south Indian shores. In the final 10 days, this is the third cyclone that has formed in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The upcoming cyclone Burevi is anticipated to lead to heavy rains in Tamil Nadu and Kerala till December 5. According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), Burevi will cross Tamil Nadu coast involving Pamban and Kanniyakumari for the duration of the evening of December 3 and early morning of December 4. Currently, the cyclone is positioned 200 km east of Trincomalee in Sri Lanka and 600 km east-northeast of Tamil Nadu’s Kanyakumari. The IMD has forecasted really heavy to heavy rainfall in India’s two southernmost states as the cyclone approaches India.
After crossing the Sri Lankan coast close to Trincomalee, cyclone Burevi will take a path west-north westwards towards the Gulf of Mannar and cross Kanyakumari on Friday afternoon. The anticipated wind speed is involving 78-80 km/hour and can gust up to one hundred km/hour.
As India has suffered a sturdy cyclone Nivar just a couple of days ago, it remains a query regardless of whether cyclone Burevi will be as sturdy as cyclone Nivar. A report by The Indian Express citing IMD officials has noted that the influence of Burevi will not be as sturdy as Nivar. It is to note that cyclone Nivar had hit close to Karaikal, Puducherry shores on November 25 causing significantly destruction. The cyclone that hit Indian shores, much less than 10 days ago, has left the sea circumstances unstable in the southwest area of Bay of Bengal. Due to this, general sea circumstances will stay disturbed. Officials are of the view that cyclone Burevi will not be capable to strengthen beyond the intensity of a cyclonic storm.
The report highlighted that due to the upwelling Nivar brought on, Burevi will not be capable to intensify beyond a limit. According to the IMD officials, when consecutive systems are in location and are in the similar area, the upwelling is led by the predecessor program. Upwelling is ordinarily the course of action exactly where cooler water from the ocean’s decrease surface is pushed on the upper surface. In this case also, as the prior cyclone is top the upwelling, there are no warm sea surface circumstances that will additional fuel Cyclone Burevi although at the sea. Thus, Burevi will only stay a cyclonic storm till Friday just before it weakens in a deep depression.
Meanwhile, heavy to quite heavy rainfall (64 to 204mm) has been forecasted in Kanyakumari, Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, Sivagangai, and Ramanathapuram districts of Tamil Nadu and Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Thiruvananthapuram and Alappuzha districts of Kerala. Other coastal regions in the south will also acquire heavy rainfall till this Saturday.
