Weather forecast: Cyclone Fani likely to bring heavy rains near Andhra coast, Bengaluru
New Delhi, Apr 30: Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Fani has been brewing in Bay Bengal for quite long now. The journey started on April 25, when a low pressure had developed in Southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining Equatorial Indian Ocean. Now, the Extremely Severe Cyclone Fani is gradually coming closer to the coast and is all set to make landfall over Odisha coast. Meanwhile, let us have a look at the weather forecast for Bengaluru, Delhi, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashir, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh on May 1.
Bengaluru:
Bengaluru
rains
have
made
a
comeback,
all
thanks
to
the
Very
Severe
Cyclonic
Storm
Fani
over
southwest
and
adjoining
southwest
Bay
of
Bengal.
The
city
received
moderate
to
heavy
rainfall
over
a
short
period
of
time
on
Tuesday
evening
due
to
the
impact
of
Cyclone
Fani
over
Bay
of
Bengal.
Indian
Meteorological
Department
(IMD)
has
forecast
moderate
to
heavy
rainfall
with
thunderstorm
activity
for
the
next
two
days
for
the
city
and
south
interior
Karnataka.
As
per
Skymet
weather,
in
the
next
24
hours,
there
might
be
cloudy
sky
but
chances
of
rains
after
24
hours
would
decrease.
Warm
afternoons
would
also
make
a
comeback.
Delhi:
Delhiites
might
get
some
relief
from
the
sweltering
heat
on
Wednesday
as
the
weatherman
has
forecast
thunderstorm
and
dust
storm
in
the
national
capital.
It
was
a
warm
Wednesday
morning
with
the
minimum
temperature
settling
at
24.4
degrees
Celsius,
normal
for
this
time
of
the
year.
Humidity
was
recorded
at
49
per
cent.
The
weatherman
has
forecast
mostly
sunny
skies
on
May
2.
The
maximum
temperature
is
likely
to
settle
around
39
degrees
Celsius.
Mumbai:
Pre-Monsoon
rains
and
thundershowers
in
Mumbai
and
Konkan
region
are
most
likely
to
make
a
comeback
soon.
According
to
Skymet
Weather,
a
cyclonic
circulation
is
likely
to
form
over
Northeast
Arabian
Sea
off
Konkan
region.
With
this,
conditions
would
become
favourable
for
some
rain
and
thundershowers
over
the
coastal
areas
like
Mumbai,
Thane,
Dahanu,
Ratnagiri
and
Sindhudurg.
Since
these
would
be
pre-Monsoon
activities,
it
would
not
have
much
impact
on
the
day
maximums.
Unlike
rest
of
the
country,
Mumbai
and
adjoining
areas
do
not
see
much
of
pre-Monsoon
activities.
Pre-Monsoon
rains
in
Mumbai
only
pick
up
pace
around
the
onset
of
Southwest
Monsoon
that
normally
happens
somewhere
around
June
10.
Andhra
Pradesh:
During
the
last
24
hours,
the
southern
parts
of
Andhra
Pradesh
such
as
Kurnool
and
Anantapur,
witnessed
good
spell
of
rain
and
thundershower
activities
accompanied
with
strong
gusty
winds
in
the
wake
of
the
approaching
Extremely
Severe
Cyclone
Fani.
Now
as
the
Extremely
Severe
Cyclone
Fani
over
west-central
and
adjoining
the
southwest
Bay
of
Bengal
is
nearing
the
Andhra
Pradesh
Coast
gradually,
rain
intensity
and
spread
will
also
increase.
In
fact,
the
coastal
stations
of
Andhra
Pradesh
are
expected
to
witness
widespread
rain
and
thundershowers
during
the
next
24
hours.
Interiors
of
the
state
may
also
observe
spell
of
rains.
Thereafter,
by
May
2,
as
cyclone
Fani
will
reach
further
north
and
start
re-curving
towards
north/northeast,
it
will
be
closest
to
North
Andhra
Pradesh
Coast.
Thus,
tomorrow
we
expect
heavy
to
extremely
heavy
rains
to
lash
the
north-coastal
districts
of
Andhra
Pradesh
such
as
Srikakulam,
Vizianagaram,
Visakhapatnam,
Kakinada,
Tuni
and
Amalapuram.
Jammu
and
Kashir,
Uttarakhand
and
Himachal
Pradesh
Scattered
light
to
moderate
rainfall
activity
occurred
over
Himachal
Pradesh
and
Uttarakhand
during
the
last
24
hours.
Jammu
and
Kashmir
also
observed
few
isolated
spells
of
rain.
As
per
Skymet
weather,
on
and
off
rain
and
thundershowers
is
expected
with
isolated
snowfall
to
continue
over
Jammu
Kashmir,
Himachal
Pradesh
and
Uttarakhand
till
May
3.
Rains
are
now
going
to
increase
over
the
hills
of
North
India.
However,
the
intensity
will
remain
mainly
light
with
one
or
two
moderate
spells
in
the
higher
reaches.
Odisha:
The
Extremely
Severe
Cyclone
Fani
is
gradually
coming
closer
to
the
coast
and
is
all
set
to
make
landfall
over
Odisha
coast.
Cyclone
Fani
is
expected
to
cross
Odisha
coast
near
Satpada
and
Balukhand
area
in
Puri
district
around
afternoon
of
May
3.
State
and
national
authorities
have
already
put
Odisha
on
alert
against
inclement
weather
conditions.
All
three
forces
Army,
Air
Force
and
Navy
on
stand
by
for
joint
operations
across
to
be
affected
states
of
Odisha,
Andhra
Pradesh
and
West
Bengal.
As
per
Skymet
weather,
places
in
South
Coastal
Odisha
like
Gajapati,
Ganjam,
Khordha,
Rayagada,
Kandhamal
and
Koraput
would
start
receiving
heavy
to
very
heavy
rains.
Eventually,
the
spread
of
rains
would
increase
and
cover
parts
of
North
Coastal
Odisha.
Most
of
the
coastal
stations
such
as
Puri,
Bhubaneswar,
Kendrapara,
Balasore
and
Bhadrak
would
start
receiving
heavy
rains.
