Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tropical Cyclone Gaja was tracking towards landfall in southeastern India when NASA’s Terra satellite flew overhead, allowing the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board to acquire a true-color image of the storm on November 14, 2018. The storm was continuing to organize with a thick band of thunderstorms wrapping into the low level center from the eastern quadrant.

At 4 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC) Tropical Cyclone Gaja was located near 12.6 degrees north latitude and 84.5 degrees east longitude. That’s about 623 nautical miles south-southwest of Calcutta, India. Gaja was moving to the west-southwest and has maximum sustained winds near 52 mph (83 km/h).

The Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for Tropical Cyclones over the Northern Indian Ocean or RSMC has issued a tropical storm warning for southern India. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) expects Gaja to track over the southern Indian Peninsula and then may likely hold together and to reach the Arabian Sea.
