The impact of Biporjoy, a storm (cyclone) that formed in the Arabian Sea, will be visible in Rajasthan from June 15. Due to this storm, rain can be seen in more than half of Rajasthan. Its danger will remain in 13 districts. A warning has been issued for this.
According to weather experts, this cyclone will hit Gujarat and Pakistan in the evening of 14 June or in the morning of 15 June. After hitting the coast, this cyclone will convert into a deep depression over parts of Gujarat and a low-pressure area over southwest parts of Rajasthan. Due to its effect, there will be heavy rains in these areas for a day or two. There is very less possibility of damage due to this cyclone in Rajasthan.
According to experts, the wind speed of this cyclone will also reduce by the time it reaches Rajasthan, but due to the high moisture level, heavy rains (from 60 to 100 mm) may occur at many places for two days.
After the cyclone reached the coast of Gujarat, the administration is on alert in the areas adjoining Rajasthan. Alerts have been issued for Banswara, Kota, Bundi Jhalawar, Jaipur, Pratapgarh, Rajsamand, Udaipur, Barmer, Jodhpur, Pali, Jaisalmer and Jalore.
