JTWC final warning remarks:

REMARKS:
261500Z POSITION NEAR 10.6N 79.6E.
TROPICAL CYCLONE (TC) 06B (NISHA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 210 NM EAST
OF COCHIN, INDIA, HAS TRACKED NORTHWESTWARD AT 04 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST 06 HOURS. RECENT MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE LOW
LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC) HAS MADE LANDFALL AND THE DEEP
CONVECTION OVER TC 06B HAS STARTED TO BECOME MORE DISORGANIZED.
ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A LARGE DECREASE IN THE OVERALL
DEEP CONVECTION SIGNATURE WITH A SHIFT FROM THE MAJORITY OF
CONVECTION ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY TO MOST OF THE CONVECTION
CURRENTLY ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. THE INTENSITY HAS DECREASED
ONLY SLIGHTLY FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST AS TC 06B MADE LANDFALL.
HOWEVER, LAND INTERACTION WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN TC 06B QUICKLY.
CURRENT TRACK IS PREDOMINANTLY INFLUENCED BY THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE SYSTEM CAUSING THE
NORTHWEST TRACK. AS TC 06B WEAKENS, LOW LEVEL WESTERLY TO WEST-
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BEGIN TO FLATTEN THE TRACK TO A MORE
WESTWARD PATTERN. TC 06B REMAINS UNDER THE AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL
SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WHICH CONTINUES TO PROVIDE GOOD OUTFLOW BUT WILL
NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN TC 06B INTENSITY. MODEL GUIDANCE
INDICATES THAT THE LLCC REMNANTS OF TC 06B WILL LIKELY TRACK ACROSS
SOUTHERN INDIA, ENTER THE ARABIAN SEA AND POSSIBLE REDEVELOP AS A
TROPICAL CYCLONE.
THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING ON THIS SYSTEM BY THE
JOINT TYPHOON WARNING CENTER (NAVMARFCSTCEN). THE SYSTEM WILL BE
CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF REGENERATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHT AT 261200Z IS 13 FEET.//

Tamil Nadu cyclone death toll reaches 120


Chennai, Nov.30 (ANI): The indiscriminate rains over the last one week in Tamil Nadu have left 120 people dead in the state so far.

Relief operation is in full swing in the state’s affected districts.

A large area of Chennai is inundated in water. Areas such as Velachery, Manapakkam, Medavakkam continues to be waterlogged.

The torrential rains have destroyed standing crops in over 550,000 hectares of land. 600,000 farmers have been hit hard by the calamity, said chief minister M.Karunanidhi.

About one million people have been affected by the havoc caused by torrential rains. 2,100 relief camps have been set up across the State to help the affected, Karunanidhi added. The state government has sanctioned 100 crore for immediate relief work. 2000 rupees and ten kilos of rice are being distributed among the affected.

Rains have reportedly damaged roads across the State. A 7,700 km of area comprising State highways and National highways has been affected.

Rail services across the state have remained paralyzed. At many places, the rail track has submerged, forcing railway authorities to suspend train services.

The meteorological department in Chennai has forecast isolated heavy rain across coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for the next 24 hours.

Cyclone Nisha has left a trail of death and destruction with like Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapatinam, and Cuddalore being the worst affected.(ANI)
