Cyclone Gulab
Cyclone Gulab to hit India tonight; heavy rains likely in Bangladesh
Barely four months after 'Tauktae' and 'Yaas' hit India, another cyclone is likely to make landfall in the country on Sunday night -- the remnants of which could trigger heavy showers in neighbouring Bangladesh.
'Cyclone Gulab' -- meaning rose, a name given by Pakistan -- is expected to hit the eastern state of Odisha and neighbouring southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh with wind speeds of up to 95kmph, the Indian weather office said this morning.
