A “super-cyclone” due to hit India’s West Bengal and Bangladesh coastal area today is expected to bring isolated heavy rainfall over all parts of Myanmar, except Taninthayi, state media reported.

Cyclone ‘Amphan” has been coded yellow by the Myanmar’s Meteorology and Hydrology Department as it is not likely to move towards Myanmar.

However, heavy rains, storm surges and high winds are also expected in northern Rakhine, Chin State and some parts of Myanmar, causing flash floods, landslides in hilly areas and power outages and uprooted trees before the cyclonic storm makes landfall.
