Cyclone Mocha battered Myanmar’s Sittwe region yesterday afternoon (14 May), and current projections suggest it will track north-east through Chin State, Magway Region, Sagaing Region and Kachin State.
According to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), the storm is "intensifying rapidly" in the Bay of Bengal and continues to threaten the coastal areas of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
The WMO forecasts winds of 180-190 kmh, as well as heavy rainfall with the possible risk of floods, flash floods and landslides.
