What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The landfall process of Cyclone Biparjoy has started near Jakhau port in the Gujarat Kutch district and will continue till midnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the \u201clandfall\u201d of a cyclone?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Landfall<\/b> is the event of a tropical cyclone coming onto land after being over water. As per the IMD, a <\/span>tropical cyclone<\/b> is said to have made landfall when the centre of the storm \u2013 or its eye \u2013 moves over the coast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> A landfall should not be confused with a \u2018direct hit\u2019, which refers to a situation where the core of high winds (or eyewall) comes onshore but the centre of the storm may stay remain offshore.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What is the damage caused by a cyclone\u2019s landfall?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The damage caused by the landfall will depend on the severity of the cyclone \u2013 marked by the speed of its winds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/span>Cyclone Biparjoy<\/b>, classified by the IMD as a \u201cvery severe cyclonic storm\u201d, the impact may include extensive damage to kutcha houses, partial disruption of power and communication lines, minor disruption of rail and road traffic, the potential threat from flying debris and flooding of escape routes.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long does a landfall last?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Landfalls can last for a few hours, with their exact duration depending on the speed of the winds and the size of the storm system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cyclones lose their intensity once they move over land because of a sharp reduction of moisture supply and an increase in surface friction. This means that while landfalls are often the most devastating moments of cyclones, they also mark the beginning of their end.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
