Mokha storm continues strong, Meteorologist U Win Naing said the bad
It had arrived 244 miles southwest of Sittwe, and the outer storm clouds had already begun to hit the shore. The storm is currently at 150 mph, and if it increases by 7 mph, it will be CAT-5. WIND GUST 157 mph, not reaching CAT-5 level; This level can only be achieved if the wind speed is 157 mph or higher for 3 minutes (3 minutes sustain wind speed).
If the storm moves closer to the land and slowly advances to the northern Bay of Bengal in a narrow area, the storm’s marginal air currents and clouds will come down after touching the Rakhine mountain range on the west coast, including the delta.
According to the ECMWF, GFS model run results, tomorrow morning, when the cyclonic storm with a diameter of more than 400 miles reaches the coast almost halfway, the mountains on the ground will touch the forests and the strength will decrease even more.
Some forecast models predict water temperature, It is possible that the wind speed and cloud content are taken into account and the terrain is not taken into account.
CAT-4 is the same, Even if it is CAT-5, the people in the area that will be hit directly by the storm are not interested in it. “Storm Surge” How high is the Storm Surge and how high will it be possible to escape from danger? I am only interested in how they can reduce the damage to their homes.
So, focus on giving the local residents the news they really need. Don’t hang around for free. (Meteorologist U Win Naing) (With respect to the original author – bkr)
