| ExtremeWeather Prediction Map: Projected path of Cyclone "Mahasen" according to JTWC. |
Latest forecast by the JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) says the long awaited tropical storm (We predicted it ten days before on May 1, 2013) in the Bay of Bengal has finally been spawned. JTWC has named it 01B. The low pressure area has grown up to a big storm.
Mahasen (when, IMD?) has grown into manhood .
JTWC says Mahasen is gonna grow to a big storm with winds of knots (167 kmph). Maximum winds will be 110 knots (200 kmph). This is going to be on May 14, 2013 when Mahasen will be at its strongest. It is going to throw up waves of 10 feet in the sea. Nasty man this Mahasen is going to be.
Mahasen is likely to make landfall into Myanmar on May 15, 2013.
