Cyclone Tauktae

Tauktae stands to be the strongest storm to impact Gujarat since 1998 as it battered parts of the state and left behind a trail of destruction along the coast, uprooting electric poles and trees, and damaging several houses and roads, before weakening. Cyclone Tauktae had impacted the weather conditions in several parts of Northern India including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi where rainfall was witnessed.
