Technology has made many impossible things possible and now it can also help you track a cyclone. Severe Cyclone Dana is expected to make landfall this evening, bringing potentially devastating winds and heavy rain.

According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Cyclone Dana is currently classified as a “severe cyclonic storm”, with wind gusts expected to reach 120 kilometers per hour. The forecast suggests that the cyclone could affect several coastal states such as Odisha and West Bengal, raising concerns about flooding, storm surge and infrastructural damage.

Local authorities are on high alert, urging residents in affected areas to take necessary precautions. Those living in vulnerable areas are advised to secure their homes and be ready to evacuate if necessary. In Odisha, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Bhadrak and Balasore districts will face severe conditions, with wind speeds projected to reach between 100-120 kmph.

West Bengal will also experience heavy rains, especially in Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, Jhargram, Kolkata, Howrah, Hooghly and North and South 24 Parganas. Rain can cause flooding and other dangerous conditions.

For residents looking to track Cyclone Dana, there are several ways to access real-time information. The IMD offers updates through its official website and mobile app, providing live updates on the location, intensity and projected trajectory of the cyclone. Additionally, local news outlets and social media platforms are helpful in receiving timely updates from meteorologists and government agencies. The Indian Meteorological Department provides early warnings for those who may be affected by the cyclone, but does not offer a real-time cyclone tracker. Fortunately, third-party services like Windy and Zoom Earth can help. These platforms display the estimated path of the cyclone and indicate its expected severity as it approaches.
