Cyclone 'Remal'
This was the first cyclone in the Bay of Bengal in this pre-monsoon season and is named Remal (meaning sand in Arabic), according to a system of naming cyclones in the Indian Ocean region.
It intensified into a severe cyclonic storm and made landfall between Sagar Island in West Bengal and Bangladesh’s Khepupara late on Sunday night and crossed the coast, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
Severe cyclonic storm 'Remal' is likely to move north-northeastwards and gradually weaken into a cyclonic storm on Monday morning, the weather department explained. After that it would move northeastwards and gradually weaken further.
In addition to the danger signals, the RMC has been issuing warnings for fishing boats and trawlers to remain in shelter until further notice.
This measure aims to ensure the safety of fishermen and prevent any maritime accidents amid the turbulent weather conditions expected with the severe cyclonic storm.
