Cyclone Asani caused disturbances in the weather of several states over the last couple of days. Just as Asani is expected to blow over, a new potential threat to coastal areas called Cyclone Karim is expected to hit India. Cyclone Asani began to take shape last week near the Andaman Sea and slowly intensified into a severe cyclonic storm over the weekend, causing heavy rains and gusty winds in states such as West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
Now, as the clutch of Asani is weakening over the coastal states, a new cyclone has been spotted over the Indian Ocean, leading to a twin threat for India. Cyclone Karim is currently being formed over the ocean and has the potential to cause a change in the weather of a few states.
Meanwhile, Cyclone Karim emerged over the weekend over the Indian Ocean and has been placed under a category two hurricane with a wind speed of 112 kmph gusting at nearly 140 kmph. This means that the cyclone can cause some damage to property and fields due to the high-speed winds.
However, the exact level of threat and the areas that Cyclone Karim can damage have not yet been determined by the weather agencies. Though Cyclone Karim is still forming, the damage from this storm is expected to be controllable.
