Cyclonic Storm 01B 2026

Live tracking map, satellite, radar, and forecasts of Cyclonic Storm 01B 2026 over India. Current wind speed 75km/h. Max 85km/h.

01B is located 724 km southwest of Kolkata, India, and has tracked west-southwestward at 4 km/h (2 knots) over the past 6 hours. Maximum significant wave height is 4 meters (13 feet).

01B is forecast to make landfall over India within the next 12 hours as it is slowly steered northwestward by the subtropical ridge centered to the northeast.

Intensity is forecast to decrease for the remainder of the forecast period as imminent landfall removes the energy source of the cyclone and continued moderate to high wind shear is expected to deteriorate the vortex, dissipating 01B as a tropical cyclone in 24 hours.

Track model guidance is in good agreement on a northwestward track for the remainder of the forecast period. The official JTWC forecast track is placed with high confidence, slightly slower but in line with the multi-model consensus as 01B approaches the higher terrain of the Indian coast.

Model intensity guidance is also in good agreement on a weakening for the remainder of the forecast period, supporting the official JTWC intensity forecast with high confidence.
