The low-lying coasts of South Asian neighbours Bangladesh and India have experienced frequent severe storms in recent years as climate crisis forces a rise in sea surface temperatures. Remal is the year's first cyclone in the region.People fish at the shrimp and crab farms that are flooded due to heavy rain, as Cyclone Remal hits the country, in the Shyamnagar area of Satkhira, Bangladesh, May 27, 2024.
The storm will gradually weaken into a cyclone during the morning on Monday and then move northeast and gradually weaken further, the IMD said in its latest weather update. Roofs of thatched huts were blown away while mud houses were flattened in the coastal areas of both countries as authorities waited to ascertain the full scale of losses.
Dhaka set up nearly 8,000 cyclone shelters and mobilised 78,000 volunteers ahead of the storm while the Indian navy said it had kept ships, aircraft, divers and medical supplies on standby for deployment if required. "We have no electricity since night, my mobile battery will run out anytime. By the grace of Allah, the cyclone was not as violent as we thought," said Rahat Raja, a resident in the coastal district of Satkhira in Bangladesh.Reports of at least 356 uprooted electricity poles and damage to scores of transformers were received during the first hour of the landfall process, Arup Biswas, the minister for power in West Bengal government, said.
