Renowned UAE astronaut Sultan Al-Neyadi shared stunning pictures of the severe cyclonic storm ‘Biparjoy’ from space.

The cyclonic storm, which had been brewing over the Arabian Sea for several days, has made landfall, informed a top weather scientist with India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday.

While thousands residing on the coastline in Gujarat have been evacuated to safer shores, the storm, according to India Meteorological Department (IMD), is likely to wreak extensive damage to property and infrastructure in the state, as well as neighboring Maharashtra and Haryana.
