Widespread Rainfall in Bihar; Cyclone ‘Shakhti’ Intensifies Over Arabian Sea

Several parts of eastern and northeastern India witnessed moderate to heavy rainfall on Saturday, even as Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Shakhti’ intensified over the northwest Arabian Sea.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Bihar recorded the highest rainfall, with Motihari (East Champaran) receiving 12 cm, followed by Supaul (10 cm) and Muzaffarpur (8 cm). Patna Airport and Forbesganj (Araria) recorded 3 cm each, while Purnea and Chapra (Saran) received 2 cm.

In Arunachal Pradesh, Pasighat (East Siang) reported 6 cm, while parts of Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim also received significant showers—Cooch Behar (6 cm), Balurghat (4 cm), Malda (3 cm), and Darjeeling (2 cm).

Rainfall was also reported from Tamil Nadu (Kanyakumari – 2 cm), Gangetic West Bengal (Berhampore – 2 cm), Odisha (Bolangir and Malkangiri – 2 cm each), and Rayalaseema (Tirupati – 2 cm).

Meanwhile, the IMD said the Severe Cyclonic Storm ‘Shakhti’ (pronounced Shakthi) over the northwest and adjoining northeast Arabian Sea moved west-southwestwards at 13 kmph during the last six hours. At 5:30 PM IST, it was centered near latitude 21.7°N and longitude 63.5°E, approximately 580 km west of Dwarka, 580 km west-southwest of Naliya, 510 km southwest of Karachi (Pakistan), 390 km east of Ras Al Hadd (Oman), and 490 km east-northeast of Masirah (Oman).

The system is likely to continue moving west-southwestwards and reach the northwest and adjoining west-central Arabian Sea by October 5, before recurving east-northeastwards from October 6 morning, gradually weakening thereafter, the IMD added.
