Odisha staring at looming cyclone

Odisha is staring at a looming cyclone this summer as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday predicted that a cyclonic storm is likely to move towards Odisha and north Andhra Pradesh by May 10.

The IMD issued a bulletin saying a low pressure area laid over the South Andaman Sea and adjoining Southeast Bay of Bengal on Friday morning.

“It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify into a depression over southeast Bay of Bengal by May 7 evening and into a cyclonic storm over east-central Bay of Bengal by May 8 evening. It is very likely to continue to move northwestwards and reach west-central and adjoining northwest Bay of Bengal off North Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts on May 10,” says the bulletin.
