The Government of India designated the storm called Biparjoy as a “very severe cyclonic storm” (category: VSCS) with a sustained wind speed of 125-135 km/hand wind gusts up to 150 kilometres per hour. Our weather maps agree with these statements and predict the impact of the cyclone’s eye near the state border from Pakistan and India tomorrow at noon, as shown in the picture.
The satellite images show the development of the cyclone and its path during the last few days, while our wind animation map can also forecast the next few days.
With the help of our diverse weather maps, you can observe the effects of cyclone Biparjoy in many different ways. For instance, high rainfall around the centre of the cyclone can be seen in the precipitation map, the wind gusts are shown on our wind gust maps, and official warnings about current weather events can be accessed via our weather warnings map.
With cyclone Biparjoy, India already counts the second cyclonic storm of this year. Not long ago, we reported on Cyclone Mocha, which raged last month. As mentioned, tropical cyclones are not unusual during this period of the year. They often form preceding the summer monsoon. During this period, the waters of the Indian Ocean become warmer while warm air ascends and condenses. A low-pressure area develops above the water's surface, continuously drawing in and heating new air masses. This process produces vast quantities of water vapour in the atmosphere. Consequently, clouds and thunderstorm cells emerge. Furthermore, condensation releases heat into the surrounding environment, stimulating the expansion of clouds and thunderstorms.
