Typhoon Noru Tears Across Vietnam, Laos, Thailand: Next Stop Bay Of Bengal

September 29, 2022 5:24 PM |

Typhoon Noru was the strongest storm of this season to strike Southeast Asia. After ravaging the archipelago nation, Philippines on Sunday 25thSep,  the storm emerged over South China Sea. Noru gathered force again to become Cat-IV equivalent hurricane heading for Vietnam. Typhoon Noru, locally named as Karding, destroyed Vietnam in an instant flash floods and howling winds.  The storm raged across Laos to enter Thailand as deep depression last night. Mercifully, it spared Cambodia of any direct hit and press on to strike northern parts of Thailand. The hardest hit were northeastern provinces of Ubon Ratchathani and Amnat Charoen. Heavy rains and strong winds lashed other 14 provinces. Ahead of the storm, 4000 people were evacuated to safe shelters. Gloomy rains and flooding forced suspension of air operations at major airports. The storm has since weakened to a well marked low pressure area and making its way for Myanmar.

Well marked low pressure will further weaken to a low pressure over Myanmar. Associated cyclonic circulation will enter Northeast Bay of Bengal (BoB), on 01stOctober. It will subsume the pre existing circulation over West Central BoB and a broad cyclonic circulation will evolve over West Central and Northwest BoB on 02nd Oct. This will strengthen further and inch closer to the coast on 03rdOct. Low pressure area is likely to form on the same day over the region.

Low pressure is expected to cross coast on 04th October, extending the rain belt deep inland covering West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Further westward movement will spell rainy days for Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttarakhand. Deep penetration of this weather system over the western and northern parts will be consequential for further withdrawal from north and central parts of the country.
