 Ahead Of Cyclone Tauktae Landfall, Mumbai Experiences Rainfall. See Pics

Welcome back to our informative blog site knowing steps360. Cyclone Tauktae - an 'extremely severe cyclonic storm' - was around 160 km south-southwest of Mumbai, where the airport has been shut between 11 am and 2 pm, early Monday morning, and is "very likely" to reach the Gujarat coast between 8 pm and 11 pm. Around 25,000 people have been evacuated from low-lying areas between Porbandar and Mahuva in Gujarat's Bhavnagar district in anticipation of landfall. Overall more than 1.5 lakh have been shifted from low-lying areas in the state. 

Movement of vehicles on Mumbai's iconic Bandra-Worli sea link has been suspended in light of cyclone Tauktae - which intensified into an 'extremely severe cyclonic storm' early this morning - is currently 160 km south-southwest of the financial capital. 

Bandra-Worli sea link has been closed due to the high-speed winds. 


Mumbai, set to escape the worst of the storm, experienced light rainfall and gusty winds early Monday. 



Temporary shelters have been set up in each of the 24 wards and the NDRF teams are on alert.

    *** The water level in many dams across Kerala also showed a rising trend on Sunday even as cyclone Tauktae moved away from the state's coast after wreaking havoc.

India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued orange alerts --a warning indicating heavy to very heavy rain-- on Sunday in three districts-Ernakulam, Idukki and Malappuram.
