Cyclone Biparjoy To Intensify In Next 24 Hours

On Saturday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted that the very severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy is expected to strengthen further in the next twenty-four hours and move north-northeastwards.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) tweeted, “VSCS “Biparjoy” over east-central Arabian Sea, lay centered at 0530hrs IST of 10th June, near lat 16.5N & long 67.4E, likely to intensify further & move north-northeastwards during next 24 hours”, through its official Twitter handle.


High waves have been seen at Tithal Beach in Valsad on the Arabian Sea coast in anticipation of Cyclone Biparjoy. Tithal Beach has been restricted to tourists as a precautionary measure until June 14.

Valsad Tehsildar TC Patel said, “We told the fishermen not to venture into the sea and they all have come back. People will be shifted to the village at the seashore if needed. Shelters have been made for them. We have closed Tithal Beach for tourists till June 14”.

With Cyclone Biparjoy expected to intensify in the next 24 hours, the weather department has previously cautioned fishermen not to venture into the seas near the coast of Kerala, Karnataka, and Lakshadweep.

Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Kozhikode, and Kannur are the districts in Kerala where a yellow alert has been issued on Friday.
