NEW DELHI/ERNAKULAM: Cyclone Nisarga could hit the Maharashtra-Goa coast as a ‘severe cyclonic storm’ on the afternoon of 3 June, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned early Tuesday.
The weather department said the low pressure system formed in the Arabian Sea has intensified into a deep depression and would become a cyclone within the next few hours.
It would continue to gain strength and turn into a 'severe cyclonic storm' late Tuesday evening. IMD has sounded a red warning for the coastal areas and also issued an orange alert for Kerala, asking the state to be prepared for flood-like situation in some districts.
