It's climbing season. Will Cyclone Fani impact mountain climbers in the Himalayas?
Fani’s top sustained winds had increased to 155 mph—just 2 mph shy of Category 5—as of 12Z Thursday, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center . Fani could briefly intensify to Category 5 strength before an expected landfall on Friday morning local time, or IST within 50 miles of the city of Puri .As the storm moves inland, it will certainly weaken, but the Himalayas could possibly modify the storm.
The winds around the cyclone temporarily directed a firehose of moisture from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean north-northwestward toward the Himalayas — some of the world's tallest mountain peaks with elevations above 20,000 feetThe process of mountains lifting moisture-laden air to produce precipitation-generating clouds is called orographic lift.
