Chennai:2.5.2019
As cyclone Fani is closing in on the coast of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha, Met officials have forecast moderate rain for the city on Thursday. The impact of the cyclone brought down the maximum temperature from 40°C on Tuesday to 36°C on Wednesday. The sky remained overcast throughout the day.
Fani, which has intensified into an extremely severe cyclonic storm, is 420km eastnortheast of Chennai, about 660km south-southwest of Puri (Odisha) and 400km southsoutheast of Vishakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh).
The forecast for Thursday said, “The sky is likely to be generally cloudy. Light to moderate rain is likely to occur in parts of city.” However, the forecast says that the day will be hotter than Wednesday, with a maximum temperature of 38°C. This is because the cyclone will be moving farther.
Railways has cancelled five trains from Chennai on May 2 and one on May 3 in anticipation of the cyclone. Those cancelled are train 22808 MGR Central-Santragachi Express, train 22613 MGR Central-Haldia Express, train 22826 MGR Central-Shalimar Express, train 12840 MGR Central- Howrah Mail, train 12842 MGR Central–Howrah Coromandel Express have been cancelled on Thursday while train 12842 - MGR Central - Howrah Coromandel Express has been cancelled on Friday. Incoming trains on the route have also been cancelled.
Indian Coast Guard and the Navy are on standby for relief and assistance. The Coast Guard has deployed nine ships and planes along the Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Puducherry coasts and five ships along Odisha and West Bengal coasts.
Coast Guard ships are also kept on standby for mobilisation of disaster relief material in coordination with state authorities at Chennai and Vizag. Four Dornier sorties are being launched every day on an average for alerting fishing boats from Chennai, Bhubaneswar and Kolkata.
The Coast Guard has coordinated with fisheries authorities of respective states and confirmed that no fishing boats are operating at sea, according to a press release from the Coast Guard.
