Both systems have been so powerful -dragged all rain clouds North.
Big one still keeping terrifying wind speed.
Highly crucial Doppler Radar is set to begin working before the cyclone season July 2027. Will have a 400 km radius. Invaluable in Cyclone prediction thanks to Japan
Srilanka didn't have a Doppler since 80s. We have been the only country in the entire region without one.
Before this, we tried setting up a similar Dopplar system up in Gongala Mountain in Deniyaya, resulting in complete project failure. We have been using outdated systems as per a report presented to parliament by Anura.

About to make landfall at 220kmph...
Sophisticated Indian Met models failed to predict the severity..
A lesson for our know-it-all Met Dept and DMC.
Our time will come.
Don't fail the country when that day dawns..
At 215kmph, mercifully curving around us..
Still 100km off mainland.
Srilanka needs to get our infrastructure ready for such a terror broadsiding us.
Never a case of if..
On conservation too, please..
Brazil will do reforestation of 10 million hectares by 2030.
'Planaveg' is just about the finest greening project in the world.
An this by a nation that has 60% rain forest cover..
Meu caro @anuradisanayake, foi um prazer me reunir com o Senhor na Índia em fevereiro deste ano. O povo brasileiro mostrou que é possível defender a democracia contra a desinformação e o extremismo. Foi uma grande vitória! Espero que possamos aprofundar a cooperação técnica e o comércio bilateral entre nossos países.
Speed 165- lower than predicted.
Its turning south a little but dangerous rains may have passed for Srilanka.
Mahaweli level on the way down..
In a nation of abundant natural resources of commercial value, where almost 10 million live in abject poverty, the people chose a man to whom Nature came first. [Lula brought 4 million out of poverty without destroying rain forest during his 8 years]
Feel for India..
Now 150kmph. Might increase further. Pulling in all that rain.
Looks like most of the rain clouds have already passed us..
Little rain tomorrow?
Nature has never been negotiable, right through his 40 year career. First thing he did in his first term has been to bring comprehensive policies to save Amzon-a principle this man kept alive each term. Today the Brazilians chose rain forest over agro expansion into the forest.
Lula has been the last man standing for the survival of a 100 billion living..
Never bargained the Nature right through his career, for a few dollars more..
Already into 120 kmph...
Forecast speaks of EC[ Extreme severity]
Lanka needs to be ready for indirect impacts.
Officially named as a cyclonic storm. Winds predicted to increase up to 120 kmph by Tuesday evening.
Might be at least 500km off us when it hits land, but the rains could be heavier tomorrow.
Unless we recover River/Road reservations and prevent flood plains /marshlands from being filled up, we are goofed.
Climate Change will not take excuses..
The thing has increased speed.. Whichever way it turns we will feel impact, one way or the other..
Let's brace ourselves..
One example: What causes millions of damage to Gampola, Gelioya, Akurana, and increasingly Nawalapitiya is the overflow of nearby local stream being invaded by concrete- not by the river.
Whole country pays for damage repair, while Govt protects the unauthorized construction.
