Severe Cyclone Dana will make landfall tonight: how to track its path in real time – Technology News

Technology has made many impossible things possible and now it can also help you track a cyclone. Severe Cyclone Dana is expected to make landfall this evening, bringing potentially devastating winds and heavy rainfall.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Cyclone Dana is currently classified as a ‘severe cyclonic storm’, with wind gusts expected to reach 120 kilometers per hour. The forecast suggests that the cyclone may hit several coastal states such as Odisha and West Bengal, raising concerns about flooding, storm surges and infrastructure damage.

Local authorities are on high alert and are urging residents in affected areas to take the necessary precautions. Those living in vulnerable zones are advised to secure their homes and be ready to evacuate if necessary. In Odisha, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak and Balasore districts will experience severe conditions, with wind speeds expected to be between 100 and 120 kilometers per hour.

West Bengal will also receive heavy rains, especially in Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly and North and South 24 Parganas. The rainfall could lead to flooding and other dangerous conditions.

For residents wanting to monitor Cyclone Dana, there are several ways to access real-time information. The IMD is providing updates through its official website and mobile app, with live updates on the location, intensity and expected path of the cyclone. Additionally, local news channels and social media platforms are useful for receiving timely updates from meteorologists and government agencies. The Indian Meteorological Department is providing advance warnings to those who may be affected by the cyclone, but does not provide a real-time cyclone tracker. Fortunately, third-party services like Windy and Zoom Earth can help. These platforms display the approximate path of the cyclone and indicate its expected severity as it approaches.
