Cyclone Vayu was to hit the Gujarat coast on June 13, but it changed course on the intervening night of June 12 and 13. “Vayu is likely to recurve on June 16 and hit Kutch on June 17-18,” M. Rajeevan, Secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, told PTI. Speaking on the IMD’s latest weather report, Ahmedabad Meteorological Centre Additional Director Manorama Mohanty, however, said it was too early to predict if the cyclone will recurve and hit Kutch or Saurashtra. Thus, it is too early to predict that it will come back and hit the Kutch coast,” she said. “Even if it comes back to Kutch or Saurashtra after 48 hours, the system may have weakened significantly.
