Cyclone warning

A fresh low pressure area which formed over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression today (Tuesday 6 November).

The low-pressure area, formed over the north Andaman Sea and adjoining areas of the Bay of Bengal yesterday morning, intensified into a depression during the early hours today.

Currently, the depression is around 950 km from the coast of Odisha. It is very likely to concentrate into a deep depression by Tuesday evening. It is moving west-northwestwards and then move north-northwestwards, towards Odisha – West Bengal coasts.

The fresh depression is expected to bring rain to several parts of coastal Odisha and West Bengal from Friday (8 November). Even though it is too early to forecast, early indications suggest that the storm could intensify further and make landfall in Odisha around Sunday late night to Monday dawn.
