Bhubaneswar: With the Cyclone Jawad is coming near toward Puri coast, the nearby Meteorological Centre issued orange warning (heavy rainfall) for twin city Bhubaneswar and Cuttack for today.
Heavy rainfall could be very likely to arise in some parts of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack town area today and tomorrow, the Bhubaneswar MeT stated in a bulletin this morning.
The weathermen forecast intense spells of rain (2-3 cm/hour), strong gusty surface wind of 30-40 kmph over some parts of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.
This could cause waterlogging in low lying areas and closure of underpasses, occasional reduction in visibility throughout intense spell of rain, disruption of traffic and breaking of tree branches.
Meanwhile, Cyclone Jawad over westcentral Bay of Bengal has weakened into a Deep depression.
As per IMD’s latest bulletin, the Deep depression remnant of Cyclone Jawad moved north-northeastwards with a speed of eleven kmph at some stage in beyond 06 hours, and lay targeted at 11.30 pm of December 4 about 180 km east-southeast of Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh), 200 km south of Gopalpur (Odisha), 270 km southsouthwest of Puri (Odisha) and 360 km south-southwest of Paradip (Odisha).
It is probably to move north-northeast wards, weaken further into a depression by morning of December 5 and attain Odisha coast close to Puri around noon of same day. subsequently, it is probably to continue to move north-northeastwards along Odisha coast towards West Bengal coast and weaken into a well marked low pressure area at some stage in next 12 hours.
