Face of Nation : “Though Hikaa is unlikely to come towards Gujarat, it will cause strong winds along the state coast,” the IMD said in a bulletin. A deep depression over the Arabian Sea has intensified into cyclonic storm “Hikaa” that will cause strong winds along the Gujarat coast, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Monday.
The deep depression that formed over northeast and adjoining east-central Arabian Sea this morning intensified into the cyclonic storm “Hikaa” after moving nearly westwards.
“It is very likely to move nearly westwards and cross the Oman coast between latitude 19N and 20N during early hours of Wednesday as a deep depression. It is likely to intensify further during next 24 hours and weaken gradually thereafter,” it said.
