Cyclone Michaung to Slam Andhra Pradesh Coast Today; Heavy Rains Lash Chennai and Surrounding Areas
Chennai/Vijayawada: A severe cyclonic storm, currently located in the Bay of Bengal, is poised to make landfall on the Andhra Pradesh coast between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam later today, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The storm, which has been named as “Michaung”, formed from a deep depression that intensified over the past few days.
As of this morning, the cyclone was situated approximately 230 km from Machilipatnam and 310 km southeast of Kakinada, moving northwest at a speed of 17 kmph. The IMD predicts that it will continue on this trajectory and cross the coast as a severe cyclonic storm later today.
The impact of the approaching cyclone is already being felt, with heavy rains lashing Chennai and several other districts in Tamil Nadu since yesterday evening. The Chennai Meteorological Department has forecast continued rainfall in at least 13 districts.
Authorities in Chennai are also managing the impact of increased water levels in the Puzhal Lake. Due to rising inflows, 250 cusecs of surplus water is being released from the lake this morning. The Tiruvallur district administration has issued an advisory to residents living along the canal banks to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
Residents in coastal Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu are advised to monitor weather updates and follow safety guidelines issued by local authorities.
