Mangaluru: Cyclone Tauktae likely to hit west coast this week


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, May 12: Even as the people and governments are engaged in a grim war against coronavirus pandemic, the west coast of the country is facing the prospect of being hit by the cyclone Tauktae. The cyclone is being created out of the fall in the atmospheric pressure in the northwest region of the Arabian Sea. It is likely to hit Maharashtra and Goa coast on May 16. This warning was issued by the meteorological department.

Because of the sudden fall in atmospheric pressure, heavy rains may lash the coastal belt of Karnataka too. A yellow alert has been issued as Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada districts are likely to get rainfall on May 12, 13, and 15. As the coast and the Malnad region are expected to get heavy rainfall on May 16, an orange alert has been issued.

    When a cyclone visits Kudla, why do they christen it with difficult names? Why can't they name it as CYCLONE GOLIBAJES or ÇYCLONE SAJJIGE BAJIL.

    Now, mother nature also hitting very hard at back & forth in our poor country...Our country doesn't have vaccines, hospital beds, and Oxigen. Serum Institute of India vaccine Mr. Adar Adar Poonawalla requested our illiterate -non-educated Pradhan Sevak very well in advance to give permission to produce Covid-19 vaccine for 2nd wave. But our useless illiterate -non-educated Pradhan Sevak is very busy in organizing useless 'KUMBA-MELA' (an infected group with Covid-19 nd), busy in laying the foundation for "NON-IMPORTANT BUILDING RAM-MANDIR (AS LORD RAM DOES'NT NEED MANDIR TO WORSHIP HIM, HE NEEDS NON-JEALOUS CLEAN HEART FROM HUMAN BEING,) VERY BUSY FOR PARLIAMENT HOUSE, WHEREAS BRITISH ALREADY BUILT THAT TIME AND IT IS ICONIC SINCE INDEPENDENCE TILL TODAY. अंधेर नगरी में बड़ा अनपढ़ चौपट राजा

    Is it really going to hit goa / Maharashtra? Most of the cyclone which formed on Arabian sea moved towards North west side as per the records. Very rarely it has hit Gujarat.. so is the headline misleading ? I think it may just pass through, but not going to hit west coast.

    The word “Tauktae” is a Burmese word, suggested by Myanmar, which means gecko, a lizard known for its distinctive vocalisations. 'Tauktae' in Burmese, means 'highly vocal lizard gecko,' and has been approved by the IMD as a suitable name for the impending cyclone. Gecko means "Palli" in Tulu.
