Sunil Kamble, head of the Regional Meteorological Center (RMC), Mumbai, said, “The low pressure area is 1,000-1,100 km away from our coast, so its impact on our coast is less at present. As the cyclone progresses, it is likely to move north and at that time we will be able to see its impact on our coast. He said that considering the low pressure area, alerts and warnings have been issued to fishermen and shipping agencies.
