VISAKHAPATNAM: North Coastal Andhra Pradesh (NCAP) districts – Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam were put on high alert after India Metrological Department (IMD) predicted that a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal is very likely to intensify into cyclone in few hours.
The IMD predicted that heavy to very heavy rainfall with isolated extremely heavy rains are very likely to over NACP on Sunday.
The Deep Depression over northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal moved westwards with a speed of 17 kmph in the last six hours and lay centered over northwest and adjoining west-central Bay of Bengal about 410 km east-southeast of Gopalpur (Odisha) and 480 km east-northeast of Kalingapatnam in Srikakulam (Andhra Pradesh). It is likely to move nearly westwards and cross north Andhra Pradesh – south Odisha coasts between Kalingapatnam and Gopalpur by Sunday evening.
Director of IMD-Amaravati, Stella S, said that isolated heavy rain is likely to occur in other districts of South Coastal Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.Squally winds of speed reaching 75 to 85 kmph gusting to 95 kmph very likely over West-central Bay of Bengal off Andhra Pradesh coast. Tide waves of 0.5 m height above astronomical tide likely over Srikakulam and Vizianagaram districts and low-lying areas may get inundated.
Damages to communication and power lines, huts, damages to paddy crops, banana, papaya, and orchards very likely. Riverine flooding and landslides are expected. The fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea till September 27.
Under its impact, a situation of a flash flood, waterlogging, and inundation in low-lying areas could arise and there is a possibility of some damage to informal and kutcha road and wall collapse of the vulnerable kutcha house
The cyclone storm will be named cyclone Gulab proposed by Pakistan.
