PABUK - ANAMAN IS UNDER CYCLONE ALERT.


A ‘yellow’ alert has been sounded for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a cyclonic storm is moving towards the archipelago, the Home Ministry said on Saturday.





The sea condition will be rough in the Andaman Islands, the Andaman Sea and the adjoining areas of east-central and south-east Bay of Bengal till January 7 owing to the cyclonic storm Pabuk, an official said, quoting a weather bulletin.

                     Pabuk originated over the Gulf of Thailand and its neighbourhood, moved west-northwestwards with a speed of 10 kmph and lay centred over Thailand and neighbourhood, he said. 

                    The storm will become very rough over southeast and east-central Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Islands and the adjoining Andaman Sea by January 8 and rough over east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal.


                           The sea condition will be very rough over the Nicobar Islands till Sunday. People in the Andaman Islands are advised to remain in safe places, the official said.


                           The weather department has advised suspension of fishing in the Andaman Sea and adjoining southeast and east-central Bay of Bengal till January 7 and in east-central and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal till January 8.

    
                          Fishermen have been advised not to venture into the Andaman Sea and adjoining southeast and east-central Bay of Bengal during the period, the official said.

Tourists marooned

                     

                      Tourists marooned on Thai islands hunkered down Friday as Pabuk struck, forcing airports and ferries to close and bringing power blackouts, heavy rain and massive sea swells. 


                     Boats were recalled to shore across the Gulf of Thailand, while three key southern airports were shut until Saturday, leaving tourists who remain on islands now cut off.

                        “Ten thousand tourists are still on Koh Phangan,” said Krikkrai Songthanee, district chief of the island that neighbours Samui and is known for its full-moon parties.
Meteorologists said Pabuk, the first tropical storm in decades to strike during the peak holiday season, made landfall in southern Thailand on Friday.

                         The eye of the storm passed over Nakhon Si Thammarat, sparing the tourist islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao to the north from a direct hit. But it caused damage along coastal areas and a power blackout in large swathes of Nakhon Si Thammarat and Surat Thani provinces, authorities said.
