New Delhi, April 27
A deep depression over southeast Bay of Bengal developed into a cyclonic storm, ‘Fani’, on Saturday, which will further intensify into a “severe cyclonic storm”, the IMD said.
According to the Cyclone Warning Division of the India Meteorological Department, Cyclone Fani is very likely to reach near the coasts of north Tamil Nadu and south Andhra Pradesh by the evening of April 30. ‘Fani’ currently lays over east Equatorial Indian Ocean and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal.
“According to our assessment, as of today, it will reach near the coasts of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu but it is unlikely that will make a landfall. It may recurve before reaching the coast,” said the IMD Additional Director General. Light to moderate rainfall is expected at a few places in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh on April 30 and May 1. — PTI
