Nearly 10 lakh shifted as Cyclone Vayu to be more intense

As a more intense Cyclone Vayu is racing towards Gujarat, triggered by a warmer Arabian Sea and acquiring moisture from the southwest monsoon, nearly 10 lakh people have been evacuated to safer places.

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday evening revised its forecasts and stated the cyclone is likely to make a landfall between Dwarka and Veraval on Thursday afternoon, instead of morning, with a wind speed up to 155 km-165 km per hour and gusting at 180 km.
