Excerpt from "All India Weather Inference" (2030hrs IST)
"The cyclonic storm 'KOMEN' over northeast Bay of Bengal moved northwestwards and lay centred at 1730 hours IST of today, the 30th July, 2015 close to Bangladesh coast near Lat. 22.4 °N and Long. 91.3° E, about 20 km east of Hatia (Bangladesh).
The cyclonic storm is in the process of crossing Bangladesh coast between Hatia and Sandwip (Bangladesh) as the northern part of the cloud band already lies over land, The entire process of landfall would take a few hours.
After landfall, it would move initially northwestwards and then west­ northwestwards and weaken gradually."
