According to Ahmedabad IMD director Manorama Mohanty, the cyclone is anticipated to travel between Mandvi in Kutch and Karachi in Pakistan, close to Jakhau port, tomorrow evening with winds of 125–135 kmph with gusts to 150 kmph.

Strong gusts and exceptionally heavy rainfall have been predicted for coastal areas of the Saurashtra-Kutch region, according to the IMD. The Kutch, Porbandar, and Devbhumi Dwarka districts are specifically mentioned in the warning.

In the cyclone-affected districts of Devbhumi Dwarka, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Junagadh, Porbandar, Gir Somnath, Morbi, and Valsad, 17 NDRF and 12 SDRF teams have been put on standby.

Authorities in Gujarat moved 37,800 residents from coastal areas to makeshift shelters on Tuesday in preparation for the strong storm that is predicted to make landfall tomorrow evening close to Jakhau port in the Kutch district.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a Red alert as a cyclone warning for the Saurashtra and Kutch beaches even though Cyclone Biparjoy has further deteriorated to a powerful cyclonic storm over the northeast Arabian Sea.
