Currently, it is 70 km south-southwest of Jamshedpur and 80 km south-southeast of Ranchi, the weather agency said. The wind speed is likely to fall to 25-35 km per hour by the end of the day. The wind speed is likely to increase to 55-65 km per hour or even 75 kmph over south Jharkhand in the next three hours, it said.
In the next six hours, sea conditions are likely to be 'very rough-high' over the northwest Bay of Bengal along the Odisha-West Bengal coast, and fishermen are advised not to venture into the sea along the north Odisha-West Bengal coast. A few places in Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Bihar are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall till Friday evening, the department said.
