According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Cyclone Biparjoy made landfall on Thursday along the coastlines of Saurashtra, Kutch in Gujarat, and neighboring Pakistan. During the process of making landfall, the wind speed is predicted to be between 115 and 125 kilometers per hour with gusts up to 145 kilometers per hour. According to IMD, heavy precipitation is likely to persist during the process of landfall.

IMD stated that the landfall procedure could take several hours to complete.

Cyclone Biparjoy delivers high tides and gusty winds to Gujarat’s coast.

Low-lying areas of Dwarka, Okha, Diu, Naliya, Veraval, Bhuj, Porbandar, and Kandla are predicted to be inundated by the storm surge caused by the cyclone, which is predicted to be 2-3 meters above the astronomical tide. IMD reported that the astronomical tides in some of these districts could reach between 3 and 6 meters in various locations.

The landfall location is anticipated to be between Mandvi and Karachi near Jakhau port, and the landfall procedure is anticipated to continue until Thursday at midnight. It takes a few hours to complete the landfall procedure, which may continue until midnight. The region where landfall will occur does not have a uniform coastline; it resembles a gulf, so the procedure of landfall will take time. The diameter of the entire system is approximately 300 kilometers, while the diameter of the primary wind area is 100 kilometers. It is a very intense cyclone that is anticipated to maintain its intensity, according to Ananda Das, IMD’s cyclone expert.
