Cyclone News: A fresh cyclone forming over the coastal region is expected to affect the weather in several northern states, including Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Western Uttar Pradesh and Delhi NCR by May 28, meteorologists have warned. While the cyclone will not directly hit these northern states, it is likely to bring heavy rains and wind changes, though with lower intensity than the recent cyclone that caused widespread damage on May 21. Residents are advised to remain alert and take necessary precautions.

How Is Cyclone Formed

Dr UP Shahi, a meteorologist from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, explained that the cyclone is formed due to the movement of hot winds rising from the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea. The strong rotating winds can cause significant destruction, uprooting trees, damaging poles and collapsing walls.

Upcoming Cyclone To Affect Weather In Several States

This upcoming cyclone may bring heavy rainfall to the affected areas, which could ease the current heat wave. However, the storm also poses risks to crops, especially mango and litchi orchards, which are currently in the harvesting stage. However, most of the regular crop harvesting is already completed, which could reduce overall agricultural losses.

Cyclone Warning: Intense Heat Likely To Return In June

The weather pattern is expected to remain unsettled through May, with thunderstorms, light showers and occasional storms continuing. But intense heat is likely to return in early June, with temperatures soaring to between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius. This heatwave is predicted to last until late June, after which the monsoon is expected to arrive in the Delhi NCR region around June 28 or 29. Post-monsoon, the weather will become more variable, alternating between rain and windy conditions.

Cyclone Warning: Public Advisory

Authorities advise people to secure their homes by closing doors and windows tightly. Emergency supplies such as mobile phones, chargers, torches, batteries, matches and ready-to-eat food should be kept handy. It is important to avoid living in unsafe buildings or under trees during storms. Residents should also remove loose tin sheets or other materials from rooftops to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles during strong winds.
