Cyclone Nolo

Cyclone Nolo is intensifying over the Pacific, with winds reaching speeds of around 185 km/h, prompting weather authorities to issue alerts for several coastal areas. Reports in Indian media are tracking the storm's path and warning residents in vulnerable regions to prepare for heavy rain and damaging winds as the system develops.

Tropical Cyclone Nolo crossed the international date line over the Pacific Ocean, prompting meteorologists to reclassify it from a hurricane to a typhoon. The storm retained its strength but changes designation because hurricanes and typhoons are the same phenomenon, named differently in the eastern and western Pacific. US news outlets widely reported the unusual transition, which highlights the terminology divide used by weather agencies on either side of the date line.
