IMD Issues Alert For Cyclone Tej To Mumbai

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning about a potential cyclonic storm, possibly named 'Cyclone Tej', forming in the Arabian Sea that might affect Mumbai, Pune, and other regions of Maharashtra, including Konkan. Uncertainty surrounds the storm's formation as the low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea may intensify into a depression without turning into a full cyclone. Fishermen in Maharashtra and South Gujarat have been advised not to venture into the sea until the situation is more definite. The storm could result in a drop in temperatures and increased rainfall, particularly in South Konkan. Meanwhile, Mumbai's moderate Air Quality Index (AQI) may improve due to the rain brought by the cyclone.
