The storm is expected to cross Bangladesh and India’s West Bengal coasts around midnight on Sunday. The India Meteorological Department said it is expected to reach maximum wind speeds of up to 120km per hour (75mph), with gusts up to 135kph (85mph) hitting West Bengal’s Sagar Island and Bangladesh’s Khepupara region on Sunday night.
