Remal is predicted by a number of international meteorological research modules to make landfall on Sunday, May 26. Although this storm is first believed to be nearing landfall in Bangladesh, its course is able to shift at any time. It may land anywhere, from the Odisha coast to the Bangladeshi Sundarbans.
Much of the nation currently suffers from intense heat. Kerala has been receiving a lot of rain at present. In the meantime, the Bay of Bengal has seen the emergence of the season’s first cyclonic storm. It is known as Remal. West Bengal will be the area hardest hit. In numerous Bengali districts, the Meteorological Department has issued a warning regarding heavy rain. The Indian Meteorological Department reports that on May 26 (Sunday), this cyclonic storm that is growing in the Bay of Bengal may make landfall on the shores of Bangladesh, a neighboring country, and West Bengal. In the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections in Bengal, voting is scheduled to take place on Saturday for eight seats.
According to the Meteorological Department, on May 25, winds of up to 100 km/h in Bangladesh and 80 to 100 km/h in several West Bengal districts are expected as a result of the storm. The coastal regions of West Bengal, north Odisha, Mizoram, Tripura, and south Manipur are predicted to see extremely heavy rainfall on May 26–27, according to a warning from the Meteorological Department. On Saturday, May 25, the storm is likely to evolve to become a deep depression, and on May 26, it’s going to become a strong cyclonic storm. For mild to moderate rain in the districts of Kolkata, Howrah, Nadia, Jhargram, North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas, and Purba Medinipur, the IMD has issued an orange advisory.
On the other hand, the Meteorological Department is yet to release any official information concerning the cyclone’s landfall. However, a number of global international meteorological research modules claim that Ramal may reach ashore on Sunday. Although this storm is said to be mainly seen making landfall in Bangladesh, it is always probable for it to divert off course. It may land anywhere, from Bangladesh’s Sundarbans to the Odisha coast.
