The cyclone named as Taukate is rapidly brewing and moving towards Gujarat coast. There was confusion if the cyclone would move towards Oman coast or Gujarat coast. Now the trajectory of cyclone apparently clear which suggests that Taukate will kiss west coast of India before making landfall over Gujarat coast. Coastal Karnataka is also gearing up to face the brunt of cyclone. If not for full scale, there is prediction of gusty winds with torrential rains. The cloud build-up and gradual acceleration of wind speed are felt in coastal Karnataka. The easterlies are replaced by strong westerlies. Now the atmosphere in Bangalore looks similar to one seen during onset of monsoon season. The wind and cloud direction is also changing here in Bangalore. The cyclone is also believed to push for early onset of monsoon thanks to strong west moving winds. Cyclones are harbinger of devastation. Hope that would not be in large scale.
Here are pictures from today's sky gazing. The thick clouds even though seemed beautiful did not precipitate. The towering clouds were fascinating to watch!
Lovely captures!
