Cyclone Nisarga, a deep depression in the Arabian Sea has intensified into a cyclonic storm. It will further turn into a severe cyclonic storm by tonight and cross north Maharashtra and Gujarat coasts between Harihareshwar in Raigad district and Daman on early Wednesday morning, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
A week after Amphan wrecked havoc in West Bengal, India is bracing for another severe cyclonic storm. Cyclone Nisarga currently lies as a depression 400 km from Mumbai, 280 km from Goa's capital city and 710 km from Surat district in Gujarat, said IMD. The severe cyclonic storm will have a wind speed of 90-105 kmph when it crosses the coast.
