A 2nd pre-monsoon tropical cyclone off the Indian coast, #CycloneYaas, has formed over the Bay of Bengal, just a week after #CycloneTauktae made landfall on Gujarat’s Saurashtra coast on May 17, 2021. Follow this thread to know more:
#CycloneYaas is very likely to cross the north Odisha-West Bengal coasts between Paradip and Sagar Island around May 26, 2021, at noon with wind speed between 155-165 km per hour, gusting up to 185 km per hour 
#CycloneYaas will cause rainfall ranging from moderate to extremely heavy in Odisha’s Jagatsingpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Balasore, Jajpur, Ganjam, Mayurbhanj, Cuttack, Dhenkanal, Khurda, Puri, Angul and Sundergarh districts between May 25 and May 26 mausam.imd.gov.in/imd_latest/con…
Early prediction for #WestBengalElections2021: Unless @BJP4India makes any major mistakes in cadidate selection & election is fair; #BJP hs distinct edge. Poor ground level organisation in South Bengal & complacency among boothlevel leaders are only weaknesses. @SandipGhose 1/n
Near zero resentment in BJP over 1st list of candidates. Very few late inductees found place. Only 4 candidates of Shuvendu. Almost all r free from major charges of extortion, corruption. Only 1 filmstar. #BJP shud follow example in future lists. #WestBengalElections2021 2/n

From our cyclone #Amphan experience in Kolkata few days back, pointers ! #Nisarga
1. Fill extra water buckets
2. Charge your phones and battery packs to full

3. Be prepared to lose electricity, internet and phone network for 2-5 days.
4. Get mosquito and insect repellant as water logging will increase bug infestation around you.
5. lastly in case of rain accompanied with 100kmph wind, water will find its way through window gaps at home and office. Be prepared with towels to cover those gaps.
Good luck 👏🙏🏻

A depression over southeastern & adjoining east-central Arabian Sea this morning will likely turn into a severe cyclonic storm #Nisarga by June 3 mausam.imd.gov.in/backend/assets…
By June 3, the storm is likely to hit coastal areas in northern Maharashtra & southern Gujarat b/w Harihareshwar in Raigad district and Daman, with wind speeds of 90-100 kmph & gusting 110 kmph. These regions are on pre #cyclone alert
Very-heavy to extremely-heavy rainfall is expected in parts of both of these states and fishers have been advised to stay away. This would be the 2nd cyclone to hit India this year, 13 days after the super cyclone #Amphan lashed parts of West Bengal & Odisha on May 20

Convergence was unfavorable over Hyd. N & SE parts of Hyd still received light to moderate rain.
However the good news is moisture incursion from the Bay has already started after #Amphan has squeezed it all last wk. Expect showers to increase going forward.

#CycloneAmphan cracked Sundarban's lifelines: embankments. Why are these vital? Thread 👇Maybe we need to be more imaginative in how these lifelines and lives on the peripheries are reconstructed @moefcc @MamataOfficial @MahuaMoitra @India4Climate @UNEP @WWFINDIA @SanctuaryAsia
This is a photo I took in 2017 when the concrete embankments post #CycloneAila had just been constructed. The #Embankment Reconstruction Project was allocated a whopping Rs 5,032 crore/ GBP 562 million funded by @WorldBank to build cement and block walls @sayantanbera
After #AmphanSuperCyclone, several of these concrete embankments, 5 meters high and 30-40 meters wide, concretising 35,000 km peripheries of #Sundarbans

Those who are abusing me, Bengal CM, other Bengalis because I simply tweeted that the Prime Minister should help in this hour of #Amphan crisis, you guys can be all the great things you claim to be but not Indians. Please stop playing politics in the middle of this devastation.
No one blamed the PM for the cyclone. He is a very powerful man but even for him to orchestrate a cyclone of this severity is bit of a stretch. Was only asking for some attention and help in this hour of catastrophe which has unfortunately been missing.
The state government is doing its bit from what I hear. If the centre also helps out, maybe the healing will be faster. This is not the time for us vs them. It's the time to join forces and help save a state of the country, which is in dire straits.
Hearing :
- @airindiain 's hangars in Kolkata hit hard by #Amphan
- Assessment on of damage because of water logging. One plane looks hit.
- AI has around 6 - mostly @Airbus A319/A320 planes - there, it had flown off 3 @ATRaircraft to Ranchi before cyclone.
