Cyclone Asani likely to transform into severe storm by evening: Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Bengal on high alert

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Sunday warned the people of South India that the Cyclone Asani is intensifying over the east-central Bay of Bengal. The cyclone packing wind speed of more than 75 kmph is likely to transform into a severe storm in the next 24 hours, IMD said.

Umashankar Das, Senior Scientist, IMD said the cyclone which formed in the early hours of Sunday around 5:30 am was about 380 kilometers southeast of Port Blair and 970 kilometers southeast of Vishakhapatnam,1020 km in the southeast direction from Puri, and was moving north-westwards towards the east coast.

It is predicted to continue moving northwest towards north Andhra Pradesh with a severe intensity until the evening of May 10, bringing winds of 105-115 km/hr with gusts up to 125 km/hr over the sea. However, according to the current estimates, it is unlikely to make landfall over the east coast.

Rainfall is also expected to start on the evening of May 10th, according to Das. A yellow rain warning has been issued for three districts: Gajpati, Ganjam, and Puri. A heavy rainfall alert has also been issued for five districts on May 11, including Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Khurda, Cuttack, and Ganjam.

Meanwhile, the Odisha Special Relief Commissioner PK Jena on Saturday said low pressure has converted into a depression located almost 1,300 km from southeast of Puri moving in a northwest direction and will be a depression by May 10.

Light to moderate rain is expected to hit coastal regions of Odisha and the southern half of West Bengal, including the state capital Kolkata, starting Tuesday, according to the IMD. From May 10 till further notice, fishermen are urged not to travel into the sea or along and off the shores of West Bengal and Odisha.

Sri Lanka has suggested the name Cyclone Asani, which roughly translates to wrath.

Delhi records coolest day of June as rain brings relief from heat

Heavy rain and cloudy conditions helped Delhi record its coolest day of June, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting further relief from heat in the coming days.

Delhi experienced a significant break from the intense summer heat after rainfall and cloudy skies pushed temperatures down, making it the coolest day of June so far.

The change in weather brought much-needed relief to residents who had been dealing with high temperatures and humid conditions over the past several weeks. Rainfall was reported in several parts of the national capital and adjoining NCR regions, leading to a noticeable drop in daytime temperatures. Similar weather conditions have recently helped keep temperatures below normal across the city.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the combination of rain-bearing systems and cloud cover contributed to the cooler conditions. The weather department has indicated that pleasant weather is likely to continue, with chances of additional rainfall and thunderstorms over the next few days.

The rainfall not only lowered temperatures but also improved outdoor conditions after a prolonged spell of heat. Earlier this month, Delhi had experienced episodes of extreme weather, including heatwave conditions and dust storms, making the recent spell of rain a welcome change for residents.

IMD’s latest forecast suggests that while temperatures may gradually rise later in the week, intermittent rain and thunderstorms could continue to provide temporary relief from the summer heat.

Weather officials have advised people to stay updated on local forecasts as changing weather conditions could bring brief spells of rain, gusty winds and thunderstorms across Delhi-NCR.

Uddhav Sena MPs unreachable as Delhi meetings fuel fresh split speculation

Fresh uncertainty surrounds Shiv Sena (UBT) after several MPs reportedly became unreachable, with attention now focused on crucial meetings in Delhi.

Fresh political uncertainty has gripped the Shiv Sena (UBT) after several of its Lok Sabha MPs reportedly became unreachable, prompting senior leaders to make personal efforts to contact them amid growing speculation of a possible rebellion within the party.

Party chief Uddhav Thackeray and other senior leaders are understood to be reaching out to MPs as concerns grow over potential defections. The developments come ahead of a parliamentary committee meeting in Delhi, where several MPs from the Uddhav Thackeray camp are expected to gather.

Reports suggest that some MPs from the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction could hold discussions in the national capital alongside leaders from the rival Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde. Sources have indicated that a group of MPs may explore forming a separate faction in Parliament before potentially aligning with the Shinde-led camp, although no official announcement has been made.

Names being discussed in political circles include MPs such as Sanjay Dina Patil, Sanjay Deshmukh, Nagesh Patil Ashtikar, Omraje Nimbalkar, Bhausaheb Wakchaure and Sanjay Jadhav. However, at least one MP, Sanjay Dina Patil, has publicly rejected reports linking him to any rebel group.

Meanwhile, senior Uddhav camp leaders including Arvind Sawant and Anil Desai are expected to remain actively engaged in efforts to maintain party unity. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has also been in Delhi amid the unfolding developments.

The latest episode has revived memories of previous political upheavals in Maharashtra and intensified speculation over whether the Shiv Sena (UBT) could face another significant organisational challenge in the coming days. As meetings continue in Delhi, political observers will be closely watching for any formal announcements from either camp.
