A tropical storm has weakened after dumping heavy rains overnight in parts of southern India off the Bay of Bengal as more than 50,000 people evacuated to government-run camps.
No loss of life or major damage has been reported so far from the rain-hit areas of Andhra Pradesh state.
Authorities shut schools, canceled trains and anchored fishermen’s boats in the affected areas until Sunday. Scientists say that cyclones and powerful storms in the Indian Ocean are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change.“The Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are now warmer compared to earlier decades because of climate change,” said K.J. Ramesh, one of India’s top meteorologists and the former chief of the weather agency.
In May, two storms hit India within 10 days, with Cyclone Tauktae killing at least 140 people across western states. Nearly 70 of the victims were on a barge that ripped free of its anchors and sank off Mumbai’s coast.
