The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has provided an update on the cyclonic storm named "Biparjoy." According to IMD's latest announcement on Sunday, the storm has intensified and transformed into an "Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm" (ESCS).

 

In a tweet, the IMD stated that Biparjoy has further strengthened and is now classified as an 'Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm.' As of 5:30 am, the storm's center was located approximately 480 km South-Southwest of Porbandar in Gujarat, 530 km South-Southwest of Dwarka, and 610 km South-Southwest of Naliya.

 

The IMD predicts that the cyclonic storm will cross the coasts of Saurashtra and Kutch, and the adjoining region of Pakistan between Mandvi in Gujarat and Karachi in Pakistan around noon on June 15 as a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm.

Although it is expected that Cyclone Biparjoy will not directly hit the Indian coasts or make landfall in India, the states of Gujarat, Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka have been placed on alert to mitigate any potential impact from the passing cyclonic storm.

 

Initially, it was anticipated that the Biparjoy cyclone would make landfall in Pakistan. However, the country's meteorological agency has now stated that it is unlikely to occur. Nevertheless, authorities in the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan have been advised to remain vigilant and ensure public safety.

 

While the cyclone is projected to pass at a distance of 200-300 km from Gujarat's Porbandar coast, it is expected to bring thunderstorms and strong winds to the western state over the next five days.

As a precautionary measure, fishermen have been warned not to venture into the Arabian Sea during the next five days, and all fishing activities have been suspended.

 

To summarize, the IMD has upgraded Cyclone Biparjoy to an "Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm," which is set to pass near the coasts of Saurashtra, Kutch, and Pakistan. Although the cyclone is not expected to make landfall in India, coastal states have been advised to remain alert due to the potential impact of the storm. The situation will continue to be monitored closely, and precautions are being taken to ensure the safety of the public, including the suspension of fishing activities and warnings to fishermen in the region.
