IMD issues rainfall warning till 10 May for these states; read on to find out more

-

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has informed that a low-pressure region is emerging above South Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The low pressure is likely to develop into a depression today, 7 May, over the southeast Bay of Bengal.

The agency has predicted that the depression will turn into a cyclonic storm, which is expected to reach to the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha shores by 10 May. The storm will cause heavy rainfall in the east coast states.

Heavy rainfall is expected to happen at isolated places over coastal Odisha on 10 May. Telangana is likely to witness light to moderate rainfall in the next 3-4 days with thunderstorms and lightning. According to experts, a wind speed of 30-40 km/h is predicted for some districts in the state. After that, the temperature is expected to increase by 2-3 degrees Celsius.

What are the predictions for the coming days?

Squally wind speeds of 55-65 kmph are expected to reach to 75 kmph over Southeast and adjoining East-central Bay of Bengal. The wind speed will eventually reach up to 85 kmph over the same region by the evening of 8 May.

Winds at a speed of 40-50 kmph, eventually reaching to 60 kmph, are likely to prevail over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Andaman Sea over the next few days. Central parts of Bay of Bengal are expected to witness winds speeds of 65-75 kmph, which would eventually touch a speed of 85 kmph on 9 May.

On 10 May, Gale wind speeds of 80-90 kmph gusting to 100 kmph is expected to prevail over Northwest, West-central and East-central Bay of Bengal.

The IMD has issued a warning that sea conditions during the next 3-4 days will remain rough and advised that fishermen should not venture into the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal until 10 May.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
