Sai Kiran from Vizag posts updates on Cyclone Gulab and answers queries of people on social media platform
Sai Kiran, a weather blogger popularly known as ‘the Vizag weatherman’ has been a busy man for the last 48 hours. On the trot, he has been providing authentic and informative weather updates ever since the words related to Cyclone Gulab making its landfall near Kalingapatnam was in the air.
Mr. Kiran, a native of Gajuwaka area, has more than 2,500 followers on social media platforms.
“On September 15, the weather system was suggestive of a cyclonic storm, which was confirmed five days ago. Since then, I have been tracking it. Initially, the weather system suggested that it could hit the coast between Puri in Odisha and Visakhapatnam. However, 36 hours before landfall, I was convinced that the cyclone was heading straight towards the north Andhra region and would make landfall between Gopalpur and Kalingapatnam, and I was right,” said Mr. Sai Kiran.
