The coastal regions of western India will be directly impacted by Nisarga. The landfall point should be located south of Mumbai (Bombay). This is only the third direct impact for Maharashtra since 1891.
Nisarga has gained in intensity
Nisaraga, which evolves in Arabian Sea, hits the western coasts of the Indian peninsula. The center of the system is making landfall at Maharashtra state in the Raigad district. On satellite imagery, an eye is visible in the center of the main convection, a sign of continued intensification before impact.
Environmental conditions allowed Nisarga to continued intensification before landfall. The system moves tracked North NorthEastward at around 14 km/h and wind gust near eye is estimated beetween 110 to 120 km/h.
