New Delhi, India.-a “very severe” cyclone with gusts up to 170 kilometres per hour has caused the evacuation of about 300,000 people in the hours prior to their arrival on the west coast of India, the authorities reported on Wednesday. The Indian Meteorology Department anticipates that the storm will move at more than 13 km/h (km/h) across the Gujarat state coast (west), and IUDs Island (west) with winds between 145 and 170 km/h on Thursday morning , he said today in a report. 
The authorities also expect “very intense” rains on several regions of Gujarat with torrential rainfall of between 115 and 204 milliliters per day. The storm “probably” will flood the lower coastal areas in several districts of the West that, the report says, could “cause total destruction” of rural dwellings, and the winds would provoke the blasting of heavy objects, destroying the Telecommunications infrastructure. Damage is foreseen on roads, railroads, and plantations, while fishermen have also been asked to suspend the days at sea. 
The Gujarat authorities reported today to the press that approximately 280,000 people will be transferred to temporary shelters during the storm’s passage. According to the Department of Meteorology, at 13.00 local time (07.45 GMT on Wednesday), the cyclone was 290 kilometers from the coast of the city of Bombay (west). The catastrophes for meteorological reasons are common in South Asia and the passage of storms usually strikes roughly the coast of India leaving dead in its path. This storm coincides with a heat wave in the north and south of the country that have recorded in the last two weeks record temperatures in the country. According to the weather reports, new Delhi took the mercury to 48 degrees Celsius last Monday, the highest temperature ever recorded at this time of year. In some cities, such as the city of Churu, in the Rajastaní desert, with records above 50 degrees Celsius, very close to surpassing national historical.
