  • According to a special weather bulletin of Regional Meteorological Centre’s (RMC), Fani is “decaying rapidly”.
  • “It is very likely to move further north-northeastwards and emerge into Bangladesh on Saturday around noon as a deep depression with wind speed 50-60 kmph gusting to 70 kmph,” RMC’s Deputy Director General Sanjib Bandyopadhyay said.
  • According to weather expert J.K. Mukhopadhyay, the area of influence of the cyclone has shrunk.

“The severe cyclonic storm Fani entered Bengal at 12.30 a.m. through Odisha’s Balasore. It crossed Kharagpur packing a wind of 70-80 kmph, gusting to 90 kmph,” Regional Meteorological Centre’s Deputy Director General Sanjib Bandyopadhyay, said.

The storm is now lying close to Arambagh in Hooghly district, and is 40 km west of Kolkata.

“It is likely to continue further in north, north east direction, and reach the east Burdwan-Hooghly border, and through Nadia go to Bangladesh on Saturday afternoon, weakening into a cyclonic storm, after having triggered rains,” Bandyopadhyay said.

Fani lashed cities and towns in coastal Bengal including Digha, Mandarmani, Tajpur, Sandehskhali and Contai while the effects of the storm could also be felt in cities like Kharagpur and Burdwan as trees were uprooted and metal hoardings gave way.

Kharagpur has so far recorded 95 mm rainfall, which will continue for the next two to three hours.

The administration has switched off electricity to prevent any accident as the storm passed through a particular point in the state.
