Now is the time that Mahasen will start curving NNE towards Bangladesh. And it is going to intensify further in the next two days into a big big storm. Contrary to what the IMD says, Mahasen is going to be a very big storm. Its wind speeds will touch a mind boggling 130 kph on the 15th of May. Even when it hits Chittagong on the morning of May 17, it will throw a gale of a 100 kph.
The Bangladesh authorities have wisely started all precautions on a war footing.
It will be the strongest when it will be 400 kms south of Kolkata on May 15.
Mahasen is giving lots of rain on the Indian coast. It has been raining heavily in Andhra Pradesh since yesterday. Today the Tamil Nadu coast got a deluge.
Gangetic West Bengal and Bangladesh will receive very heavy rains from May 16.
