A cyclonic circulation is expected to emerge over the South Andaman Sea and the surrounding area around May 4, according to the Meteorological Centre in Bhubaneswar. Under the influence, a Low-Pressure Area is predicted to emerge over the same region about May 6, becoming more pronounced over the next 24 hours. Various meteorological models suggest that the low-pressure system would grow into a cyclone and pass through the Odisha-West Bengal coast around May 10. However, the IMD has not yet projected the cyclone’s route or landfall.

The weather service anticipates that a good picture of the probable cyclone’s track will be available by May 7. Furthermore, if the cyclone circulation moves towards Odisha, districts such as Kendrapara, Bhadrak, Jajpur, Balasore, Mayurbhanj, and Keonjhar are expected to be hit.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said that a clear picture of the possibility of a cyclone is yet to emerge.The cyclonic circulation over South Andaman Sea and its neighbourhood extending up to mid-tropospheric levels persists. Under its influence, a low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region around May 6.It is very likely to move northwestwards and intensify gradually into a depression during the subsequent 48 hours, the IMD said.
