According to India Meteorological Department Chief KS Hosalikar Mumbai, Thane, Raigad and Palghar were hit with winds of more than 100 kmph. The IMD forecasts that the storm may plummet out winds of up to 120 kmph as it continues. The strong winds were accompanied by heavy to very heavy rainfall in the coastal districts of the state.

And now, Indian Meteorological Department has issued <a href="https://twitter.com/CNBCTV18Live/status/1269860360305049600">yet another warning of Gati</a> — a low pressure area developing over the Bay of Bengal. Storm Gati may not cause as much damage as super cyclone Amphan but<a href="https://twitter.com/CNBCTV18Live/status/1269860360305049600"> it will definitely bring heavy rains in Odisha</a>. <div type="image" title="The villagers of Sandeshlhali block in the Sunderbans struggling for relief materials after the villages in the Sunderbans were ravaged in the devastating cyclon" msid="76257042" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The villagers of Sandeshlhali block in the Sunderbans struggling for relief materials after the villages in the Sunderbans were ravaged in the devastating cyclon&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> According to climate scientists, such extreme weather events in the northern Indian Ocean are common now due to climate change. Moreover, they expect the frequency and intensity of such cyclones to increase on both the east and west coast of the Indian subcontinent. “There is emerging evidence for an increase in annual global proportion of Category 4 or 5 tropical cyclones in recent decades (low confidence),<a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/3/2019/12/SROCC_FullReport_FINAL.pdf"> an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report said. </a> A category 4 cyclone (extremely severe cyclone) <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/as-nisarga-makes-landfall-experts-explain-why-arabian-sea-is-witnessing-more-cyclones/story-iV6TYHUzlCti5yljvfUpRL.html">has a wind speed</a> of 209-251 kilometres per hour, whereas a category 5 cyclone (super cyclone) has a wind speed of over 252 kilometers per hour.

The rough waves are due to cyclone Amphan. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>Climate change is one of the primary reasons behind the increase in such cyclonic storms which affects millions of people. This year, both the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea <a href="https://indiaclimatedialogue.net/2020/06/05/cyclones-rise-as-climate-change-heats-up-indian-ocean/">were about 1 degree hotter</a> than usual — giving a conducive environment for cyclonic storms to intensify, according to Jayaraman Srinivasan, scientist at Divecha Centre for Climate Change, Indian Institute of Science. In other words, super cyclone Amphan and extremely severe cyclone Nisarga emerged after they became powerful due to warm temperatures in the ocean. An increase in ocean temperatures mean more tropical cyclone winds, rainfall, an increase in extreme waves, as well as rising sea levels. While the climate change phenomenon holds true for all the five oceans, the most-affected one remains the Indian Ocean as it has the warmest temperature of all. <div type="image" title="3740C266-EDCB-4995-9801-12224AEF9211" msid="76257114" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A completly collapsed mini bus of Golf Green-Howrah route due to a uprooted tree near Golf Green TV tower. The extremely severe cyclone &amp;#39;Amphan&amp;#39; has left at least 12 people dead and ravaged Kolkata and several parts of West Bengal. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It is difficult to warn people early as these cyclones intensify very quickly. Moreover, since mangroves are decreasing over the years, these cyclones are capable of causing much greater damage. And, lesser ponds and ineffective drainage systems add more to the problems of people who suffer through cyclones every year.

Cyclone Nisarga: These are the do’s and don’ts people should follow in Mumbai, Thane, Alibaug, Surat and other affected areas

<keyword id="6358070" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mumbai" source="Orion">Mumbai</keyword> municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal has made a sinister prediction for the city, saying that by 2050, a major portion of <keyword id="6361338" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="south-mumbai" source="Orion">south Mumbai</keyword>, including the business district of <keyword id="6391251" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nariman-point" source="Orion">Nariman Point</keyword> and <keyword id="11967724" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="state-secretariat-mantralaya" source="Orion">state secretariat Mantralaya</keyword>, will go <keyword id="68531" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="under-water" source="Orion">under water</keyword> due to the rising sea level. Speaking at the launch of Mumbai Climate Action Plan and its website at the hands of Maharashtra Environment and Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Friday, Chahal said about 70 per cent of the city's A, B, C and D wards in south Mumbai will be under water due to <keyword id="6361617" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="climate-change" source="Orion">climate change</keyword>. He said that nature has been giving warnings, but if people do not "wake up" then the situation would turn "dangerous". "Eighty per cent of the areas like Cuffe Parade, Nariman Point and Mantralaya will be under water...Means going to disappear," he said. The civic chief also said that it is a matter of just 25-30 years as 2050 is not too far. "We are getting warnings from nature and if we do not wake up, it will be a dangerous situation for the next 25 years. And it will not only be the next generation but the current generation will also suffer," Chahal warned. He said that Mumbai is the first city in South Asia that is preparing its climate action plan and acting on it. "Earlier, we used to hear about climate change events like melting glaciers, but not directly affecting us. But now it has come to our doorstep," he added. Chahal said that last year for the first time in 129 years, a cyclone (Nisarga) hit Mumbai and thereafter in the last 15 months, there have been three cyclones. After that, on August 5, 2020, about 5 to 5.5 fewater was accumulated at Nariman point. "There was no cyclone warning that day, but considering the parameters, it was a cyclone," Chahal said. Highlighting that the city has witnessed some extreme weather condictions recently, he said that the city faced Tauktae cyclone in Mumbai and witnessed 214 mm rain on May 17, though monsoon arrives here on June 6 or 7. Before June 9, Mumbai recorded 84 per cent of the June rainfall and in July, 70 per cent of month's average rainfall was received in just four days - from July 17 to 20, he said. Under the Mumbai Climate Action Plan (MCAP), the data assessment has identified areas and communities most vulnerable given increasing climate uncertainty, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said in a release. Data from across BMC's 37 automatic weather stations (AWS) over the past 10 years suggests that on an average, Mumbai has seen six heavy, five very heavy, and four extremely heavy rainfall days per year. And for all the rainfall that occurs during the monsoon season in Mumbai, each year, approximately 10 per cent falls under the heavy category, nine per cent very heavy, and six per cent extremely heavy. According to the India Meteorological Department's (IMD) classification, daily rainfall from 64.5 mm to 115.5 mm is considered 'heavy', 115.6 mm to 204.4mm 'very heavy' and more than 204.5mm is 'extreme'. "The four-year period between 2017 and 2020 has seen a steady increase in the extremely heavy rainfall events. This indicates that the frequency of such extreme weather events is increasing for the city of Mumbai especially over the past four years," said Lubaina Rangwala, Associate Director, WRI India Ross Center for Sustainable Cities.
