Cyclones are potent natural disasters that have the potential to do great harm and endanger both life and property. People who reside in cyclone-prone areas must keep up with the most recent information and follow a cyclone’s route in real time. Now that technology has advanced, it is easier to track cyclones using your smartphone.
IMD has forecast that the coastal region of Gujarat would likely be affected by the powerful cyclone “Biparjoy,” which has the potential to cause significant damage. The most potential areas of effect for the cyclone in Gujarat include the Kutch, Devbhoomi Dwarka, and Jamnagar districts, according to the India Meteorological Department on Tuesday.
On the evening of June 15, Cyclone Biparjoy is expected to cross the beaches of Saurashtra and Kutch close to Jakhau Port as a “very severe cyclonic storm” with a maximum sustained wind speed of 125–135 kmph and gusts to 150 kmph. IMD stated that the damage it could do could be substantial.
On June 15, the storm may cause isolated locations in the Kutch, Devbhoomi Dwarka, and Jamnagar districts to see extremely high rainfall (above 20 cm). “These regions typically don’t get as much rain. As a result, it may cause flooding in low-lying areas, according to IMD.
One must keep track of the cyclone’s progress and updates as it approaches. Here is a detailed instruction on how to track cyclones in real time on your smartphone.
Zoom Earth: Google’s Zoom Earth offers thorough cyclone tracking with on-the-fly updates on the storm’s development. It displays complete satellite image animations and storm-prone locations.
Both PCs and mobile devices can access the website. Additionally, the website offers animations for charts of barometric pressure, wind speed, pressure, temperature, and humidity variations.
