Cyclone Nilofar, about to hit coastal Gujarat, is unlikely to be as severe as Cyclone Hudhud that lashed Andhra Pradesh. As per the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the very severe cyclonic storm ‘Nilofar’ would weaken as it would come closer to Gujarat coast and cross it as a marginal cyclonic storm with a wind speed of 60-70 kilometer per hour and a maximum speed of 80 kilometre per hour.
