Cyclone Nilofar

 
Gujarat state administration is preparing to face 'Cyclone Nilofar', which has developed in the Arabian Sea and is likely to move towards the state's coast, Gujarat meteorological department said on Sunday Oct 26,2014

The MeT department on Sunday issued a warning asking port authorities to hoist distant warning signals.
"The cyclonic storm has developed in the Arabian Sea. The system would move initially north-northwest wards during the next 48 hours. Keep hoisted distant warning at your port," the port warning of the meteorological department read.

An Ahmedabad Meteorological Centre official said here that the exact situation of the cyclone could be ascertained only after 48 hours.
"At present, the cyclonic storm is centred in the west central and adjoining south west area of the Arabian sea. The exact situation, how and whether it will affect the Gujarat coast, can be ascertained, only after it moves from its current location. It may take 48 hours to ascertain that," Additional Director of Ahmedabad Meteorological Centre Manorama Mohanty said.
