The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned that Cyclone Tauktae will take an extreme shape in the east central Arabian Sea by tonight, with wind speed reaching 180-190 kmph gusting to 210 kmph likely to prevail during the next six hours.<\/p>\n
The agency has warned of tidal waves of up to 3 meters hitting the coasts of Amreli, Gir Somnath, Diu and Bhavnagar of Gujarat.<\/p>\n
The IMD said that gale wind speed reaching 90-100 kmph gusting to 110 kmph is prevailing over adjoining northeast Arabian Sea. It would gradually increase becoming 170-180 kmph gusting to 200 kmph from forenoon for subsequent 12 hours and decrease thereafter.<\/p>\n
Right now, gale wind speed reaching 70-80 kmph gusting to 90 kmph is prevailing along and off south Gujarat & Daman and Diu coasts. This is likely to increase into wind speed reaching 155-165 kmph gusting to 185 kmph along and off Gujarat coast (Junagarh, Gir-Somnath, Amreli, Bhavnagar) and 120 -140 kmph gusting to 165 kmph over Bharuch, Anand, south Ahmedabad, Botad, Porbandar, 90 -100 kmph gusting to 120 kmph over Devbhoomi Dwarka, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Morbi, Kheda districts of Gujarat from tonight till Tuesday early morning.<\/p>\n
Sea conditions will be phenomenal over east-central and adjoining northeast Arabian Sea till tomorrow morning and improve gradually thereafter.<\/p>\n
The conditions of the sea will be high to very high along & off Maharashtra coast during next 12 hours and improve thereafter.<\/p>\n
It is very likely to be high along and off the coastal regions of south Gujarat, Daman, Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli during next 6 hours and thereafter phenomenal till 18th morning. The situation will improve gradually thereafter.<\/p>\n
The IMD has warned that tidal waves above astronomical strength are likely to inundate coastal areas as around three-meter-high waves will be hitting the coasts of Amreli, Gir Somnath, Diu and Bhavnagar districts when Tauktae makes its landfall.<\/p>\n
Somewhat lesser high tidal waves of two to three meters are likely to hit coasts of Bharuch and Anand and waves of 1-2 m over Surat, Navsari, Valsad, and 0.5 – 1m over the remaining coastal districts of Gujarat during the time of landfall.<\/p>\n
Red alerts have been issued for the coastal districts of Junagadh, Gir-Somnath, Amreli and Bhavnagar in Saurashtra and Valsad and Navsari in South Gujarat as well as the union territories of Diu and Daman.<\/p>\n
The IMD has warned the ports of Gujarat and issued instructions to hoist IX and X signals (indicating great danger).
