Cyclonic storm likely to curve away from Odisha, A.P. coast, may not make landfall

People in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh may heave a sigh of relief as the predicted cyclone storm over the Bay of Bengal is not likely to make landfall in any of two States while it would curve away towards the sea.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the low pressure area over the South Andaman Sea and the neighbourhood became a well-marked low pressure area on Friday and persisted over the Southeast Bay of Bengal and the adjoining South Andaman Sea.

“It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a Depression over southeast Bay of Bengal and further into a Cyclonic Storm over eastcentral Bay of Bengal on May 8,” a bulletin issued by the IMD said.
